Book Review: Ghosts Abroad in Ireland by Vanessa Hogle

In psychic medium Vanessa Hogle’s new book Ghosts Abroad Ireland, the reader is taken on a spirited tour of the spirits that haunt the environs of the village of Ballaghaderren, Ireland.  The book is the companion to Vanessa Hogle and Gwen Clapper’s documentary series Hidden Gems: Ireland available to stream on Amazon Prime Video and YouTube.




Vanessa is passionate about helping lost souls through her work as a medium.  I have had the pleasure of seeing Vanessa at work and her compassion for the spirits is genuine.  She is not in the field to get a TV show.  Hidden Gems was funded through the hard work of Vanessa, Gwen, and by donations from supporters.

In Ghosts Abroad Ireland, Vanessa takes the reader along with her as she investigates the haunted sites of Ballaghaderren.  The village of Ballaghaderren is steeped in history and Vanessa encountered the past in all its pain and glory.  From the scared beauty of the Cave of the Cats to the dark spirits that haunt a convent that sold babies in illegal adoptions, the reader is whisked along on a spirited journey.  Along with the ghosts, the reader gets to experience the local color of Ballaghaderren. 

I enjoyed every minute of reading Ghosts Abroad Ireland and the book kept me entertained during a rather cold and snowy weekend.  Vanessa has an engaging and honest style of writing.  The only thing that would have added to the book would have been if Vanessa would have explained why Ballaghaderren called to her to visit and investigate.  I also would have loved to have seen pictures of the sites and the investigations included.

Ghosts Abroad Ireland is available on Amazon
