The Brazen Head Pub is the oldest pub in Dublin and has been site of revolutions. They say Robert Emmett haunts this place. Collins Barracks was the longest continuously running army barracks before it became a museum. Visitors and passers-by claim to see ghostly soldiers and hear screams. Lastly, Kilmainham Goal operated with horrid conditions and conducted many executions over the years before becoming a museum. Its restoration brought several stories of ghosts that continue to this day.
