Web Cam Ghost Watch

Irish ghosts and supernatural beings come in all shapes and sizes, from near-invisible bog sprites to the awful Crom Cruach, headless astride his terrible black steed. There are vengeful spirits, mischievous ghosts and disembodied voices - places with spooky reputations and stories of terrible ends.

Web Camera coverage in the ongoing Irelandseye.com Ghostwatch was set up in response to reports of ghostly activity in a former linen mill. This element of the site is currently our most popular feature, still attracting media coverage worldwide.

Ghost stories are no longer the preserve of the past. Ask the printing manager or the designer who late at night heard quick, light footsteps on the stairs and in the corridor. Warehouse staff discovered boxes of books moved around the warehouse when no one has been near them. More workplace spookiness can be examined in Workers sightings.

Visitors to the Ghostwatch by day and by night send reports of sightings from the web cam, both intriguing and sometimes unsettling. Many visitors have reported accounts which defy rational explanation, while others have not witnessed anything unusual in the images which the camera records.

Irish ghosts are not confined to the old tales. Spirits are kept very busy, haunting modern as well as ancient ground. Modern technology, in the form of computers and web broadcast images, offers us all the opportunity to develop a 'pet theory' about ghost images and spirits - we no longer need to take the word of 'a friend of a friend who saw something sometime', but can examine the evidence on-line.

The ghost walks in the linen mill where she once worked, the haunting cry of her last moments echoing off its walls. An Irish superstition has it that if you left work on good terms, and were given a piece of bread, so long as you kept some of it safe, good luck would follow. This might be one reason why the mill building is subject to such strange phenomena - not only is she unable to leave the building, she suffered violently in her last moments of life. One thing we are sure of - the ghost is not violent - unless you have evidence to the contrary. The web cam is active 24 hours a day. Visitors are still reporting unusual activity, which can be examined in Latest Sightings. The restless spirit of the long-dead mill worker is, it seems, still around to be captured.

Your opinion counts - register your experience on-line, and the rest of the web-watching community can make up its mind about the 'ghostly' happenings in the former mill building.
