Additional Information

Ireland is perhaps known for a disproportionately large number of ghost lore, with the eerie legend of the haunted Bog Road of Connemara standing out as one of the more enduring ones. Do you dare to undertake this frightening exploration to scrutinize the validity of these spectral narratives? The Bog Road, before Clifden’s establishment, used to be the primary route to Galway. Ghastly murders occurred numerous times at a guesthouse located on this path, leading to a proliferation of frightful yarns, most of them likely exaggerated… According to one account, an inn known as the Halfway House existed here, managed by a sibling pair during the 1790s. They would welcome solitary wanderers, subsequently killing them (naturally, when the clock struck midnight) and eliminating their bodies in the neighboring bog lakes while seizing their possessions. The ghosts believed to haunt this isolated road segment are supposedly those of the deceased travellers who fell prey to the macabre siblings and had their remains discarded in the barren bog - the Red-Haired Girl at the Inn’s narrative is a timeless piece of scary folklore….

  • Option to meet the guide with his own minivan in Clifden and join the tour from there.(Mini-van transport supply is an additional cost).

Disappointing tour not a ghost tour - The tour would be better described as a drive (in your own vehicle) through Clifton with a stop at some historic sites (3) . Not a ghost tour but maybe suited to someone who wants circa 90 mins in a car driving the big roads.
