There's an Irish glowing boy in this collection, in the story "The Specter of Tulleyfane Abbey" -

The book's copyright is 2005 but it seems like the individual stories were written earlier.

John hasn't been active since October 2012 so we may never know.

Good point *facepalm*. I got so wrapped up in the awesome idea that I didn't even notice. :) I'll definitely check out the one you suggested though. I'm a sucker for Irish Folklore so yeah...

No worries John. Your request is back in the "Unsolved" folder.

Do you recall illustrations or the cover?

Are they all ghost stories set in Ireland? For example:
- Irish Ghosts and Hauntings by Michael Scott?
- Chiller by Chris Lynch and other Irish writers
- Irish Fairy Tales by Jeremiah Curtin includes ghost stories and has different covers
- Irish Tales of Terror by Peter Haining?

About how many stories are in the book?
