r/ParanormalIreland on Reddit: Has anyone ever had any paranormal experiences at Kilmainham Gaol?
May 14, 2023 -

I remember going on a tour around Kilmainham Gaol one time. It was years ago. Anyway I was the last in a line of people listening to a guide. All of a sudden I felt this tap on my shoulder and a push from behind (This was in around the cell area on the stairway. Near the beginning of the tour). Course I looked behind me and there was no one there. The place has some hauntings from what I hear. The chapel area has an evil presence apparently. And the jail even locked up kids during the famine for stealing bread. Anyone else have any paranormal encounters in Kilmainham Gaol?

January 1, 2025 - Though we investigated countless places both personally and as part of designing tours for our ghost tour company in Chicago, I rarely saw him fazed by the history of a location or by its current “feel.” But that night after the gaol visit was different. He was obviously shaken. Since that day, that spell has never been broken. And even now, some years later, when anyone asks him (knowing our history with ghosts), “What’s the most haunted place you’ve ever been?” he answers without a pause, “Kilmainham Gaol.”

Despite closing in 1924, County Dublin’s Kilmainham Gaol, home to some of the country’s most notorious criminals in the last 200 years, still has the power to chill. It might be Europe’s largest unoccupied prison, but there’s more than a few spectral inhabitants fond of turning on and off the chapel lights and slamming cell doors shut.

August 21, 2014 - It has been said that tourists – and mostly American tourists – are the only reason that Kilmainham Gaol is still open because most Irish couldn’t be bothered with it these days. My new friend who is now happily married here in the U.S. agrees with the travel books that say things like that because he and his generation seem to be sick to death of the glorious dead mentality and couldn’t care less about the history and the Troubles that have haunted the country since even before the Rising of 1916.
