Irish ghosts are not confined to old tales of spooks and spirits in days of old, or to black, cold nights. They are kept busy, haunting modern and ancient ground. Spirits frequent castles and haunted houses, while that scariest of spooks, the banshee still pursues noble Irish families, through countryside and city streets. Helena Blunden is said to walk in the linen mill where she once worked, her last moments echoing off its walls from the early years of the twentieth century.

Ghost stories are no longer the preserve of the past. Modern technology has been brought in to prove the existence of this phantom named Helena - another of Ireland's restless spirits. The long-dead mill worker is, it seems, still around to be captured on live web cam.
