1.The Leap Castle
Often referred to as the most haunted castle in Ireland, the reason why it’s so haunted seems to be rather clear. This is found in Coolderry County about four miles north of Roscrea. This was built by the O'Carroll clan in the 13th century to claim the fertile land around it. Many disputes began to take place in 1532 within the clan about who was to become leader after their main chieftain had passed away. The dispute came to a bloody end and was solved in a gruesome fashion. A few members of the clan planned an all out ambush, during a supposed peace gathering and it’s said that one of them even took the life of his own brother. Today, people have claimed to feel the presence of pure evilness, especially in the place where the massacre took place, known as the “the Bloody Chapel”. Cartloads of human bones were also removed from here a while ago from the dungeon and even reports of a red ghost. The list goes on, and this is clearly one of the most haunted places on the mysterious Emerald Island
