Stepping through the veiled fog at the Olde St. Patrick's High Church in earlier today.
We have been familiar with the church for many years, guiding visitors to the site on our award-winning ghost tours.
As the mist clung to the spires and gravestones, it was as if the veil between this world and the next had thinned, leaving a sense of mystery and an eerie calm.
A belief here in Ireland is that the fog carries the whispers of the spirit world, and today, amidst the silence of this sacred place, we can feel the weight of history and the peaceful rest of those interred here.
Check out these ethereal snaps of a place that dates back to the Reformation (c. 1578). In the stillness of the fog, time stood still, and for a moment, the hustle of modern life faded into the hush of the afternoon mist.
Here's to more mystery and eerieness in 2024 - Happy New Year to you all. 👻
Unearth the spine-chilling secrets of Newry, a town with a history so sinister, we fervently wish it were but tall tales. ☠️

Have you heard of the town's dark days in 1641, when rebels seized control and the Reverend Tudge was mercilessly hanged, but only after being cruelly cut by their swords? 🗡
Such stories may begin to explain the intense hauntings that plague our town, and that's before you've heard of the United Irishmen's harrowing end, their screams of pain and restless spirits still stalking one the towns famous parks... 🪓
Make no mistake Newry’a reputation as a sanctuary for the wandering souls is unmatched, making it the most haunted town across Ireland.

A note of caution: as we traverse graveyards in the witching hour, where only wraiths dare roam, it's best to utter a prayer to ensure they don't follow you back. 🪦😱
Shall we expect you as dusk falls? The phantoms await your company. 👻👀
This week, we've received several inquiries about our celebrated ghost walks.
In light of the recent extreme weather conditions and the subsequent flooding that has affected local businesses in our community, we made the decision to cancel our ghost walks for the week. Rest assured, all those who had booked tours have been refunded in full.
We're delighted to announce that the ghost walks will resume this Friday night.
We kindly ask all participants to gather outside
The Bank Bar and Restaurant Newry on Trevor Hill to minimise any disruption to the ongoing recovery efforts in the area.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
We look forward to seeing you soon! 👻
Our thoughts are with all the local businesses in that have been affected by the devastating floods today.
In a lighter vein, the flooding brings to mind Venice, although Newry's beauty is unparalleled.

Here's another video of the mountains and sea, this time from the shore at Warrenpoint. Carlingford Lough was like a sheet of glass. It was that calm. You will all agree that no matter the time of year, it's a beautiful part of Ireland.
The views over Carlingford Lough truly live in the imagination of some fantasy landscape with its beautiful, mystical aura. CS Lewis, Narnia's creator, once said Rostrevor, which overlooks Carlingford Lough, is his idea of Narnia. Carlingford was given this name because of the inlet's resemblance to a Scandanavian Fjord and for the (unknown now) Viking named Cairlinn. Below is a short video from the shores of the village of Omeath in County Louth, just across the border in the Republic of Ireland. It's a view, not a 10-minute drive from Newry, that always touches the spirit. #Ireland #Travel #Winter
