About this book
Haunted Donegal gathers reported ghost stories, folklore and accounts of unexplained activity from across County Donegal. Madeline McCully includes the goblin child of Castlereagh, the Blue Stacks Banshee and the ghostly swans associated with Burt Castle, alongside stories linked to Dunlewy Bridge, Stumpy’s Brae and the Bridgend Poltergeist.
The collection moves between local tradition and more recent testimony, presenting apparitions, banshee lore and alleged poltergeist activity in public places and private homes. Its material comes from historical and contemporary sources, including first-hand experiences and tales not previously published. Together, the stories depict Donegal as a landscape where inherited folklore and modern reports continue to meet, from celebrated landmarks to lesser-known domestic settings.
