About This Experience
Dublin may look charming by daylight, but when night falls, the city tells a very different story.
Beneath the cobblestones lies a past steeped in execution, betrayal, madness, and the supernatural. While much of Dublin’s grisly history has faded into legend, not every soul has moved on…
Ireland is one of the most haunted countries in the world, shaped by centuries of conflict, belief, and fear. From ancient Celtic rituals to the Protestant Ascendancy, each era has left behind dark footprints and in Dublin, those footprints still echo.
On this chilling walking tour, we guide you through the city’s shadowed streets and hidden corners, uncovering true tales from Dublin’s underbelly, including:
• The burning of 18th-century madam Darkey “The Witch” Kelly
• The tragic apparition of The Green Lady of St. Audoen’s
• The sinister origins of Dublin’s infamous “Hell”
• The reign of terror during the time The Dolocher stalked the streets
• The dark legends surrounding the Hellfire Club and its disturbing rituals
• Who was the walking gallows?
As the night deepens, we make our way toward the legendary **Gates of Hell** where myth, history, and something darker converge.
You’ll also hear the shocking true story of Billy and the Bowl a case of first-degree murder that defied all expectations. A man with no legs, a string of vanished women, and a crime that left Dublin stunned.
This is not a lighthearted ghost walk.
This tour dives into the gruesome realities, paranormal encounters, and chilling folklore that have haunted Dubliners for centuries told with historical accuracy, respect, and just enough darkness to stay with you long after the walk ends.
