My home is haunted by Padraig Pearse, says Canadian ambassador
The Canadian Ambassador to Ireland believes his official residence in Dublin is being haunted by the ghost of Padraig Pearse.
Kevin Vickers, who made headlines when he rugby tackled a protestor to the ground during a Easter Rising commemoration service, thinks the spirit of the 1916 leader lives on in the elegant setting of Glanmire House.
The ambassador describes hearing unusual bangs, laboured breathing and heavy footsteps in the residence's halls, in a recent social media post.
“Ghosts. I never believed in ghosts. Until I arrived here," he said.
