Explore the eerie and fascinating history of Friars Bush Graveyard, one of Belfast’s oldest and most haunted burial sites. In this video, we delve into its dark past, dating back to the early 18th century, when the oldest headstone was erected in 1717. But the site’s history stretches much further back, with religious connections to St. Patrick himself, who is said to have built a church here.

Discover the tragic tales of secret masses held under the thorny tree during the penal period, the brutal execution of a friar, and the horrifying presence of body snatchers in the 19th century. We also explore the mass grave at "Plaguey Hill," where victims of cholera, dysentery, and the Great Famine were hastily buried in shallow graves.

Friars Bush Graveyard’s haunted reputation endures to this day, with countless ghost sightings and reports of paranormal activity. Join us as we uncover the chilling history of this fascinating, haunted site—still a place where the past refuses to stay buried.
