Connolly Station, originally named Amiens Street Station, opened in 1844 as the terminus of the Dublin-Drogheda Railway. Designed by William Deane Butler in an Italianate style, it became a key transportation hub in Dublin. The station was renamed in 1966 after Irish revolutionary James Connolly, who was executed nearby following the 1916 Easter Rising.

Over the years, Connolly Station has accumulated several ghost stories. One of the most frequently reported apparitions is that of a man in Victorian-era clothing, often seen walking along the platforms late at night. Staff and passengers have described him as tall, wearing a top hat and carrying a cane. Some witnesses claim he vanishes when approached.

Another recurring tale involves the sound of phantom footsteps echoing through the empty corridors and waiting areas after hours. Security guards have reported hearing these steps, only to find no one present when investigating.

In the station’s older sections, there have been accounts of a ghostly woman in a long dress, believed to be from the late 19th century. She is typically seen near the staircases, appearing briefly before fading away.

Some employees have reported unexplained cold spots in various parts of the station, particularly in the underground passageways. These areas are said to suddenly drop in temperature, even on warm days, causing an eerie atmosphere.

There are also stories of luggage moving on its own in the storage areas and shadowy figures seen out of the corner of one’s eye, particularly during quiet periods in the early morning hours.
