Ghostly Waterford tales.....spooky!

magick · 01-08-2008 06:45PM #1

While im a fan of the Paranormal forum, id rather see the post stay here as its only talking about local folklore/ghosts etc in the Waterford Area

I heard recently their was some sightings/weird things happening down near the bridge hotel.

Of course theirs the "ghost" of Garter Lane, also a few other places out by the kilmeaden road and near annestown/benvoy.

Now we all heard ghost stories when we were young, but is their any truth to them ?

I remember looking at old black and white photos of tramore one time and saw their was a place called the Haunted Well, its at the end of the secnic walkway in tramore, the well is bricked up now but the water still flows out of it down to the a peir (dont know the name of it).

Obviously the bibe is the tale of the local Banshee.

There used to be an old broken down large house up Grace Dieu road that was used to go to. Not sure if it's still there. We'd call it the Haunted House. Not because it was, but it fit the description for youthful minds.

I was staying in that big house on the Tramore road that Tawdy always drinks outside for a school thing and I saw two ladies in white dresses on the ground floor but all the staff were adamant that no one works during the night.

They could have been messing with me and I could have imagined it, but you wanted spooky tales and it spooked me.

Its was a run down slum a few years back (a few mates were living there) everyone of them had storys about the place. Some were strange others were run like fu*k strange. One lad (Lived in the attic room) left everything he owned and would not go back for love or money. My mate had to pack his stuff up for him.

Heathen · 06-08-2008 04:52PM

well the area is difficult to descibe but its the house you pass just as ur coming onto a long straight (going to annestown) where u can finally see the sea, (i know my directions arent the best) but local lore has it that someone hung themselves in the place, and that the place is haunted.

Also on another note, theirs a warehouse out by the car dealerships between ntl and AOhell where a certain illegal radio station used to broadcast a few years back was haunted. This one i can defo say with some substance, firstly because my father used to work there and second i spoke to people who worked there and all claimed the same spooky goings on.

Typhoon. · 06-08-2008 10:17PM

What about the house up at Carrols cross.. I know its in the county but everyone knows about this house.....anyone any info on that??

smaoifs · 06-08-2008 10:45PM

Taxi driver was telling me one night he dropped 3 girls somewhere just outside Cheekpoint. He pulled into a drive to swing around and the girls jumped straight back in. Whatever they saw freaked the bejaysus outta them! Gracedieu, we're always hearing noises. Nan and Dad say banshee, cynical mother says a fox!

JamesBase · 07-08-2008 12:24AM

I don't believe in that things but what about that haunted church in Waterford? I've been recently told kind of legend on a man and his dog happening in a church in the other side of the river Suir... ???? Does it ring a bell?

Yep, the one about the search dogs they sent in before doing the place up. They wouldn't go into one of the rooms for some reason!

Yeah that house is freaky alright, always gives me the heebee jeebees when I pass it, I wouldn't walk past it that for sure, I'll stay in the car and zoom past!!

My cousin once told me that there was an old graveyard up the road from the Holy Cross Pub and that one night some guy was walking down and he saw eyes looking out at him - FREAKY!!!....once its dark and I have to walk to the pub I make a run for it on that part - don't know how true it is, but I'll always be weary about that part of the road!!!.....:eek::eek::eek:

OH my god SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE....too freaky for me, I know they say its not the dead you should be scared of but the living...but hey...that just not for me!!.....oh I'm trying to shake that off....

A little off topic, being it's not waterford but I went to see Batman last night in WATERFORD cinema, but I heard that it is meant to be cursed, first heath's death, then Cillian Murphy got in for trouble for abusing a memeber of his family, and then Morgan Freemans accident....Strange or what.....

trishw78 · 08-08-2008 11:31AM

I didn't hear about Cillian Murphy are you sure it wasn't Christian Bale

So the story goes, that the person that can spend one night in that house on their own will own it forever more. Rumour has it many have tried but to no avail. If you told me their was €10k in the upstairs bedroom but i could only get it between 2-4am, i wouldnt do it!

Roen · 09-08-2008 06:36PM

Whereabouts is that gaff?

stick-dan · 09-08-2008 07:35PM

It can't be that scary, what has stopped the others? Were they magically lifted out of the house or something. Maybe a group of us boardsies should get together and stay there, We can't all be moved.

I'd be up for it. When we went around the back there was a light on inside so we headed off
