Leap Castle

Offaly · Ireland · Castle

The Bloody Chapel — where one O'Carroll brother stabbed down his own brother at the altar. The oubliette pit was full of skeletons when opened in 1922.

Leap Castle nära Birr, County Offaly anses vara Irlands mest hemsökta slott. O'Carroll-klanen mördade gäster vid banketter och bröder under mässor i 'Bloody Chapel'. En oubliette med tre kärror av ben upptäcktes 1922. Ett primitivt elementalt väsen och en lady i röd klänning hemsöker fortfarande slottet. Källa: Spökplatser i Britannien (PDF-sammanställning).
