Not a big fan of "ghosts" but saw this on Yahoo relating to Ireland today.

Hunting ghosts is one of Ireland's weirder treatsIrelandA?a€™s days have been full of sunshine for the last month, but as the sun sets every night, an important activity resumes across the land: ghost hunting. The adventurous tourist who wants to take a walk on the a€œother sidea€? has many escorts waiting from Antrim toA?DublinA?, Cavan to Kerry and Claire to The Beyond. You can go a€œghost litea€? or a€œghost black.a€? Providing the former is Brian Oa€™Neill, a born storyteller in the charming harbor town ofKinsaleA?, County Cork, who assembles a crowd around his mother Marya€™s quirky Tap Tavern at 9 every night.The main stop is Charles Fort, a sprawling star-shaped affair where the British army defended its vital last stop between here and the Americas from French and Spanish types. Soldiers took this seriously enough that they shot a young newly married colleague for falling asleep drunk on guard duty. His bride, in white lace, jumped over the ramparts down to the sea. Her often-envisioned apparition, a€œThe White Ladya€? (slogan: a€œIrelanda€™s most famous ghosta€?), is a fixture of Kinsale fable and the centerpiece of an easygoing ramble suitable for children (5 euros) as well as adults (10).Mid-range freaky is Ghost Hunt Ireland (a€œsee beyond the darka€?), a Kerry-based outfit doing regular hunts, with drinks beforehand and B&B after, perhaps at Ross Castle in County Meath. The subject being what it is and the country being Ireland, youa€™ll get the lite (a€œwe welcome both believers and nonbelieversa€?) and the heavy (a€œterms and conditionsa€?). Techniques for ghost contact include a€œthe traditionala€? a€” sA?ances, dowsing, mirror scryning(sic), table topping a€” and a€œthe techa€? in terms of night scopes and the like. The group is led by Breda Duggan, whose sadly deceased brother once appeared to her.
