The Land of Celtic Ghosts documentary

[basehartfan]

I talked to my boss at the library, and he is very familiar with BGU's Pop Culture Collection, as he applied for a position there years ago. He told me that the possibility of interlibrary loan is nil, and he doubts that they will even check the video out to a BGU student -- they might to faculty, but even then, since it is part of a special collection, and a donated one too boot, it may be unlikely.

And I agree 100% with your description of the documentary. The Black Cat of Killakee and the Devil visiting Castletown House were the two stories that I enjoyed the most.

Yes, and the Killakee story I believe also had the story of the child ghost with the monstrous head. I also remember the dwarf who guarded an old castle (beautiful cinematography), the monolithic tomb that when touched caused a foul stench that priests had to exorcise, and the story of Grace O'Malley the sea queen pirate.

Also a bit of history on the Book Of Cells, and at least one loch monster at the end of the movie.

I still remember the very 1970's-looking parapsychologist discussing the tape-recorder theory of ghosts, and the celtic cross monument to the victims of a IRA massacre during the Irish Civil War.

...it pours! I just received an e-mail about Vidstar releasing The Land of the Celtic Ghosts on DVD next year:

So, it looks like I will go from zero to two copies by St. Patrick's Day.
