Ballyseede Castle

Kerry · Irland · Hotel

Every year on 24 March the housekeeper Hilda is said to appear at the castle hotel near Tralee — guests smell roses as she passes by.

Ballyseede Castle outside Tralee was for centuries the seat of the Blennerhassett family and is today a castle hotel with an unusually punctual ghost. Hilda, said to have been a housekeeper or faithful servant at the castle, traditionally appears every year on 24 March — though guests and staff describe encounters with her all year round. She is described as a kindly figure in old-fashioned clothes who walks the staircase and corridors, her arrival heralded by a sudden scent of roses. Doors ease themselves open, footsteps sound in empty rooms, and children are said to have waved at the lady no one else can see.
