Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Twenty Years Experience as a Ghost Hunter
In starting a book of this sort, I believe it is usual to say something about one's self.
I was born in the 'seventies. My father came from County Limerick, and belonged to the Truagh Castle O'Donnells, who, tracing their descent from Shane Luirg, the elder brother of Niall Garbh, the ancestor of Red Hugh, rightly claim to be the oldest branch of the great clan. He graduated at Trinity College, Dublin, was for some time vicar of a parish near Worcester, and died in Egypt, under mysterious and much discussed circumstances, soon after I came into the world.
My mother was English; she belonged to an old Midland family, and only survived my father a few years.
Although I am generally known as a ghost hunter, needless to say it was not for such a career that I was educated, first of all at Clifton College, then at an Army crammer's, and finally at Chedwode Crawley's well-known coaching establishment in Ely Place, Dublin.
