Malahide Castle

The Malahide Castle ghosts are as much a part of the estate as the ancient woodlands and the elegant rooms.

Reports of spooky sightings go back as long as the castle’s 800-year history; hardly surprising when you consider the tales of battles, bloodshed and broken-hearts surrounding this medieval building.

Some of these ghosts are connected to real historical figures that lived here while others are of more mysterious origin. One of the most famous ghostly residents is court jester Puck. Unlucky in love, Puck continues to nurse a broken heart in the turret where he used to live. You may also have heard of the lady in white; a female apparition who wanders the rooms and corridors of the castle.

Plenty of visitors have reported encounters with these spectres – will you be next?!

Hells Fire Club

The Hell Fire Club disturbed the spirits of the Ancient Ancestral Dead.

The building was doomed from the moment of its construction as it is built on the sacred land of the Irish.

This was the site of an ancient Irish passage grave, a tomb also known as a Cairn. To build his new hunting lodge of excess William Connolly destroyed an ancient sacred site.

As we all know the sites of our ancients should never be disturbed. They are sites of our ancestors and are revered.

Brazenhead Pub

Established in 1754, The Brazen Head is Dublin’s oldest pub. With a lively bar that is full of character and a decent pub food offering, this is a popular venue for live music and storytelling. But the Brazen Head has a few stories of its own, and at least one of the characters that frequented the pub in life, appears to have kept coming back, long after “last orders” had been called.

Irish revolutionary, Robert Emmet, was a regular visitor to the pub, and elements of rebel activity were planned within its walls. On the 20th of September 1803, Emmet was hanged until dead and then beheaded. The exact whereabouts of his bodily remains are unknown, but his spirit returned to his favourite watering hole. Many have spotted his ghost in the bar, keeping a lookout for his enemies and the man who cut off his head.

Dublin

Temple bar is a great place to explore, but it is only a 10 min walk to Dublin center city if you want to explore there. Guinness store house and factory is not too far either and you could visit Jamison distillery. The time is yours to do with as you wish.

Belvedere House:

Belvedere House is a Georgian villa on the shores of Lough Ennell near Mullingar, Co. Westmeath. Open to the public, the estate features several striking follies, including the so-called “Jealous Wall,” which bears testimony to one of the most sordid family squabbles in Irish history.

It all started in 1836, when an ambitious aristocrat, Robert Rochfort, (later the 1st Earl of Belvedere) decided he wanted to marry a popular young woman in Dublin artistic circles, the 16-year-old Mary Molesworth. She evidently sensed he wasn’t quite the catch he appeared, as she resisted his initial advances, but her family, seduced by his power and great name, arranged the match. For a few years, the relationship worked, and the couple had four children. 

Robert lost interest in her. There are suggestions that his mistress poisoned his mind against his wife and other suggestions that it was his brother, George. 

He locked her away in her bedroom for 30 years until he died. During this time she never saw her 4 children.

It is a sad tale that will be told to you by a very impressive tour guide.

Leap Castle Investigation:

Leap Castle, nestled in the rolling hills of County Offaly, is often called the most haunted castle in Ireland—and for good reason. With a bloody history of betrayal, murder, and power struggles, its stones seem to echo with the cries of the past. The most chilling area is the Bloody Chapel, where a brutal fratricide took place during a family mass. Deep within the castle lies a hidden oubliette, where victims were thrown to their deaths onto spikes below. Over the centuries, many have reported ghostly apparitions, disembodied voices, and an oppressive presence known only as "The Elemental"—a terrifying spirit with a ghastly stench and glowing eyes. Leap Castle is a place where history and horror intertwine, and the veil between worlds feels perilously thin.

Formed over thousands of years by a single drop of water at a time, this magnificent formation hangs like a giant stone chandelier in the heart of the cave. Visitors descend into the earth on a guided tour, navigating narrow passageways and ancient limestone chambers to witness the raw power and quiet beauty of nature at work. Just minutes from the Cliffs of Moher and the charming village of Doolin, Doolin Cave offers a fascinating underground adventure that’s both humbling and unforgettable.

Kylemore Abbey:

Nestled in the heart of Connemara, Kylemore Abbey is one of Ireland’s most romantic and picturesque landmarks.

Surrounded by a tranquil lake and backed by the rugged Connemara mountains, the abbey is steeped in history, devotion, and enduring love. Visitors can explore the beautifully restored rooms, stroll through the six-acre Victorian walled garden, and visit the stunning neo-Gothic church—built as a memorial to Henry’s wife. Kylemore Abbey is more than just a historic site; it’s a place of peace, beauty, and timeless Irish elegance.

Westport House:

Nestled on the banks of the Carrowbeg River amidst lush parkland, Westport House in County Mayo is Ireland’s enchanting blend of history, grandeur, and modern-day adventure. Built in 1731 on the very foundations of a 16th-century castle once owned by pirate queen Grace O’Malley, this majestic Georgian‑Palladian mansion was shaped by celebrated architects Richard Cassels, James Wyatt, and Thomas Ivory hitched.

Still privately owned—now by the Hughes family—the estate offers a captivating journey through three floors and 30 beautifully preserved rooms, including the original dungeons beneath the house, opulent reception spaces, and exhibitions spotlighting the Browne family’s dramatic legacy, from pirate roots to abolitionist heroes

Bonfire Night: TBC

Bonfire Night in Ireland, celebrated on June 23rd, is a vibrant tradition rooted in ancient Celtic and Christian customs marking the eve of the summer solstice. Also known as St. John’s Eve or Midsummer’s Eve, this night was historically celebrated with large bonfires believed to ward off evil spirits and bring protection and good fortune for the coming year. Communities would gather around these blazing fires to sing, dance, and share stories, reinforcing social bonds and honoring the power of fire as a symbol of purification and renewal. Over time, the night took on Christian significance, linked to the feast of St. John the Baptist on June 24th, blending pagan and religious elements. Today, Bonfire Night remains a lively cultural event in many parts of Ireland, keeping alive the spirit of ancient rituals with a modern festive atmosphere.
