The Ghost of Watt’s Distillery

In the heart of Derry, where cobblestones conceal centuries of secrets and the River Foyle whispers through the mist, the past is never truly buried. Beneath the modern hum of William Street and the sterile tiles of a public swimming pool lies a scorched legacy—the ghost of Watt’s Distillery. Once the pride of Irish whiskey, it rose on ambition and burned in tragedy, leaving behind more than just soot-stained ruins. A century later, when lifeguard Aoife Brennan encounters a spectral boy with haunted eyes and a warning hand, she unwittingly reawakens the smouldering memories of a fire that never fully died. In Derry, history has a heartbeat—and sometimes, it taps from below.
