Haunting and History of the Emerald Isle


Adult Enrichment / Personal Interest -
Summer 2025

Experience History with a Paranormal Twist on an Armchair Tour Through Ireland. Ireland is famous for its “thin places,” a membrane or a thin layer between worlds that cross over each other. From pagan times to present, Ireland’s dark history has been recorded in its abbeys and churches, forts and castles, jails and graveyards by those who lived during those turbulent times and often perished because of them. Their ghosts are eyewitnesses to this history. Sometimes, they are the history.

June Gossler Anderson

June is the author of ten published books; two of them histories with a paranormal twist, along with a fictional multicultural mystery of supernatural proportions. She has traveled on the dark side to five different Old World countries with her group of paranormal peeps. It is upon her travels to three of them, Ireland, England, and Transylvania in Romania, that her hour-long PowerPoint presentation, “Tracking Dracula,” is based for you to enjoy in the comfort and safety of your armchair.
