GHOST OF~Marsh's Library Central Dublin , Ireland

Location within Central Dublin
The library was built for the Most Rev. Narcissus Marsh, Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin, and formerly Provost of Trinity College, Dublin. It was long claimed that the Library opened in 1701, but this is untrue. The Cathedral agreed in 1701 to provide a plot of land for a library, but building work only commenced in 1703. The First Gallery and the Old Reading Room seem to have been completed by 1705. The Library was formally established by an Act of the Irish Parliament in 1707 (6 Anne c. 19), and the Second Gallery was added in 1708 or 1709.
Dr. Elias Bouhereau, a Huguenot refugee from La Rochelle who fled from France after the Revocation of the edict of Nantes, was the first librarian or Keeper, and also donated his personal library
The library contains over 25,000 books from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, in addition to around 300 manuscripts, and around 80 books (incunabula) from before 1501 Subjects covered include medicine, law, science, travel, navigation, mathematics, music, surveying and classical literature, and especially theology.
The library is said to be still haunted by its founder, then Archbishop, Narcissus Marsh. The story goes that Grace, Marsh’s 19-year-old niece, whom he’d raised from a child and was then working as his housekeeper, fell in love with a salty sea captain. Marsh made his opposition to the relationship known, as he thought Grace’s suitor to be unsuitable. Grace pleaded with him, but getting nowhere realised that her only option would be to elope. The morning she and her lover left, Grace wrote a note for her uncle, explaining her disappearance and asking for forgiveness. Not wanting to leave it anywhere the Archbishop would find it with enough time to stop her, she hid it in one of the thousands of books in his library. Marsh died without ever finding the note, and apparently his ghost searches for it to this day, banging desks, rattling the reading cages and leafing through book after book. However, Marsh’s ghost, in true librarian fashion, is said to always returns the books he searches to the shelves he found them on.
The library still features its original fittings, including seating and shelving. The bookcases are made of quarter-plained Baltic oak with carved and lettered gables. In some of the bookcases there are bullet holes from the Easter Rising when the hotel next door was occupied There are three wire alcoves, known as 'cages', which came into use in the 1770s in response to thefts in the library.
