Description

Born into a lineage that boasted ancient Irish roots and educated at prestigious schools, the narrator begins his tale by recalling a childhood spent roaming hills, playing sports, and serving briefly with the Royal Irish Constabulary. Rather than seeking the supernatural, he claims the spirits found him, pulling him into a career that blends curiosity, intuition, and a touch of irreverent humor. His voice is solidly grounded—he admits he is no laboratory scientist or trained medium, just a self‑described ghost hunter with a keen sensibility for the uncanny.

The collection unfolds as a series of compact investigations, from fog‑laden Dublin alleys to remote Welsh mines, and even a brief venture across the Atlantic to San Francisco. Each chapter offers vivid descriptions, sketches, and personal reflections that invite listeners to feel the chill of phantom footsteps without spoiling the outcomes. With a conversational style and a dash of skepticism, the book makes the world of hauntings feel both accessible and oddly familiar.
