Believe it or not... gaol set for supernatural gathering

IN keeping with the spirit of Halloween, tonight’s 11th World Ghost Convention at Cork City Gaol provides a timely opportunity for people fascinated with the supernatural to take part in an evening dedicated to the topic.

A panel of international guest speakers from various backgrounds and professions will attend. They include Dr Margaret Humphreys of University College Cork’s Folklore and Ethnology Department; Dr Eve Bruce, a medical doctor and shaman who spent 15 years with indigenous elders from the Andes and Amazon, along with Helen Barrett, White Witch of the Isles and the leader of 3,500 Irish witches and wizards.

At the convention, people who have experienced supernatural happenings will have the chance to share their accounts with like-minded individuals.
