True Irish Ghost Stories (1926) is the expanded second edition of a classic paranormal anthology originally published in 1914. This 1926 release expanded the book to nearly 300 pages by incorporating additional first-hand accounts collected from ordinary Irish citizens. The collection stands out because it deliberately avoids fictional ghost stories. Instead, it compiles real-world, localized folklore and personal experiences sent in by the public following an appeal in the Irish national press.
