Hello and welcome. My name is Louise, and I am the owner of Haunted Tours NI.

I am a qualified tour guide, and taxi driver.

Though surprisingly if you'd have told me years ago I'd be tour guide, I'd have laughed at you, as the thought of public speaking terrified me.

It all started back in 2021. A friend asked me to buy her a book about the Islandmagee witches. When it arrived I read the back of the cover. Intrigued, I had a quick look... I lie, I read the whole thing, and then wrapped it up and gifted it to her. Don't tell her!

I'd spent the last 10 years raising my 2 children with additional needs by myself. Now they were reaching adulthood, it was time to do something for myself. And I got to thinking I've heard of the accused witches of Salem and Pendle, but not of the ones in my own country. And no-one was doing tours on the subject. This annoyed me. So not really knowing where to start, I contacted the author of the book to seek their permission to use their research, and Dr Sneddon kindly agreed. Everything then fell into place, and after more research, and a lot of writing, I held my first walking tour at the start of 2023. Since then I've been very blessed to have met many wonderful people and made new friends along the way.

I'm very passionate about what the Islandmagee witches, and others, endured, and get angered when I see those that decided to copy me not tell their story accurately.

They are not Irelands Salem;

they are their own story.

My interest in the paranormal stemmed from the experiences myself, and my family, had in my childhood home. I think the best way to get an answer to something, is search for it yourself.​

Though I'll always try to look for a logical explanation first. and class myself as a skeptic.

So all in all ​I'm just a single mother that wants to bring history to life in a fun and interactive way. See if I can get my own answers regarding the afterlife. And get myself out of the house lol.

I love what I do, and feel very privileged and blessed to do so. I've been overwhelmed with the amount of support, never mind bookings, I have received.

So a massive thank you to you all!!  Much love.
