The Ghost of Ber Street

Here is another suggested topic from Tony Harper.  This relates to an article published in the Eastern Daily Press on June 18th 1898.  It appears to be related to an unfortunate lady with “weak intellect” which is indicative of how 19th century society treated individuals with mental health issues.  As the hoards descended on the graveyard to see the ghost, what legendary Irish warriors were they compared to?  What did they do to the tomb and how did the parish authorities deter future attempts?  To answer these questions and to find out more information, please select the following link:
