It’s based on my book, Haunted Dublin, published in October 2008. The article is basically a summary of many of the things in the book, with tales of black dogs, phantom cats, headless horsemen – even bodiless heads – and the murderous black pig that stalked the streets around Christchurch cathedral (above).
