Ghost hunt Ireland invites you to join us on one of our paranormal investigations to some of Irelands most famous
haunted destinations, including the two listed below. For a full listing please do not hesitate to contact us.
Ross Castle.
This historic castle is situated amidst majestic trees in the tranquil countryside over looking its nearby lake.
Built in 1533 by the lord of Devon, Richard Nugent, 12th Lord Delvin--also known as the "Black Baron".
He is said to be buried under the Anchorite's Cell in Fore. The great hall and extensions of Ross Castle were
built by the Baron's grandson Richard in 1539 and the tower was used by Myles "the Slasher" O'Reilly,
before he was killed in battle in 1644 by Cromwell's forces. His descendant, Anna Maria O'Reilly, restored it in 1864.
The Legend: In 1536, Sabina, the Baron's daughter, slipped away one day and met a handsome young man named Orwin
on a bridge at the edge of her father's property. The Baron was English and Orwin was the son of an Irish lord.
They fell in love, but it was not considered a proper match. They decided to elope and took a boat out onto Lough
Sheelin.
The lake's waters are unpredictable and sometimes dangerous, with changeable weather and the lake being
shallow with sharp limestone deposits underneath. While out on the lake, Sabina and Orwin couldn't get back when a
storm came up and the boat overturned, with Orwin striking his head and dying. Sabina was thrown from the boat and
rescued. She had a weakened heart from a virus when she was 7 and didn't awaken for three days, and when she did,
she came across her beloved's body laid out in the palace chapel.
The scream from her seeing him is said to still be heard around 3-4 am in the back right room of the great house.
She died from the shock of it all not too long afterwards.
She and Orwin are buried nearby in a mound down the road near the quarry. It is said that her spirit
returned to Ross, while Orwin's returned to his family's home. Her screams can be heard in the dead of night.
Charleville Castle
Charleville Castle features prominent turrets and spires, clinging ivy and a medieval grotto.
It is regarded as the
finest Gothic Revival building in Ireland. Charleville castle is bordering the town of Tullamore,
near the Shannon River. The castle is situated in Ireland’s most ancient primordial oak woods, once the haunting grounds
of Ireland’s druids. The word 'druid' in Gaelic literally means, "knower of the oak".
In the sixth century it was part of the ancient monastic site of Lynally, which itself was in
the ancient Durrow monastic settlement.
The castle is haunted by the ghost of a young girl who fell down some stairs to her death in the early 1800s.
The girl whom fell to her death from a staircase still roams around the castle and can be heard in rooms above
moving furniture around and laughing and talking.
The castle has also been investigated by many paranormal investigation groups from around the world
