Andrew Johnston, known for his work with Alternative Ulstours, will present a talk exploring a selection of ghostly legends from the north and north‑west of Ireland. The programme moves through a range of locations, from a remote farmhouse reputed to have endured two failed exorcisms to a historic mansion linked to a cursed Egyptian mummy. He also recounts a tragic spirit that allegedly haunted a hotel before its destruction and a notorious stately home where a phantom’s touch left a mysterious burn mark.
Johnston’s background includes leading horror‑themed tours in Northern Ireland and delivering talks on a variety of unsettling topics, from folklore to true‑crime history. His presentation promises a measured, narrative‑driven look at these stories, offering insight into the cultural context behind the hauntings.
