ghosts and legends of waterford

MRnotlob606

anybody have any knowledge of ghosts or legends in Waterford ?. One legend I heard is of a tunnel that goes under the river Suir. i recently read about in a book called Waterford folk tales.

Waterfordborn

Waterford, being the oldest (and at one point, the most important) city in Ireland, both the city and county are full of tales of hauntings and ghosts.

The haunted well in Tramore, which is a popular tale, definitely has something ghostly about it.

As both postcards state, spirits were very often seen at the well in the late 1800s, early 1900s at midnight.

My own father, who had lived in Tramore his whole life, often reported seeing a young woman in heavy skirts and a silk-looking blouse chasing after a child in what appeared to be her Sunday best.

Never a problem. You might also be interested in checking out Butlerstown Castle/ The Coach House B&B, which is supposedly haunted by soldiers from the War of Independence and the Civil War c:
