Some ghost stories collected in Cavan in 1942 show amazing similarities with ghost stories collected in Yorkshire 600 years earlier. Do you want to hear about them. Join me here tonight. Please retweet #AncientGhosts 
A 15th century manuscript written in Latin, now located in the British National Library was first transcribed by M.R James in 1922. Written by an anonymous monk at Byland Abbey in North Yorkshire - it contains 12 ghost stories #AncientGhosts
Because it was was not translated until 1922, it makes it rather remarkable that vestiges of these 600 year old ghost stories were picked up in the oral tradition of County Cavan in 1944 by the National Folklore Commission #AncientGhosts
