Just some of the ghastly things we'll cover on the tour are: - Bram Stoker's Dublin & some of the real-life inspirations for Dracula - Horrifying medieval crime & punishment - Grave robbing & body snatching - The banshee & the dark side of Irish mythology - Hell & The Hellfire Club - Witchcraft in Irish History - Serial Killers, Poltergeists, Headless Horsemen, & much more. . .
