We go on a tour of the Wicklow Gaol before moving on to the headless woman that haunts the Wicklow Headland. From there we meet the ghost of a boy at the Old Ormond Castle before discussing a couple different theories of the ghost seen on Midsummers Eve at Lovers Leap Rock in Bray. Finally, we end at the Glendalough Monastic Ruins where we discuss Saint Kevin and the ghost of a woman named Kathleen.
