Lake Monsters of Ireland


Undetermined, Ireland

Signpost Tours are delighted to be able to bring true living culture to our tours, this time in the form of real people with ‘real’ experiences or sightings. Sightings of lake bound creatures matching descriptions of more otherworld like creature s or lake monsters. Let us take you to the lakes of Kerry or Connemara all inter-connected to the sea where you can hear first-hand and if very lucky, see first-hand , a lake based creature that has long held the attention of the Irish population and deserves to be shared, even if just for posterity. Even the story of St. Patrick ridding Ireland of snakes has its antecedents in these sightings, and it is an aspect of Irish folklore that has long been overlooked.

Our Take

Unique in the tourist industry, Signpost Tours have taken time out to meet with people who have sighted what they believe to be the "Capall Uisce" or 'Horse-Eel', a creature that was a part of lake life as much as salmon and trout and have become more rare and treated with disdain or with fearful respect as part of the fairy world. Allow us to bring you to some of the most foreboding, yet magical places in Ireland and meet people who are convinced there is more out there in this world than we know.
