Leap Castle

Leap Castle is said to be one of the most haunted castles of Ireland. This building is infested with ancient Irish demons unleashed during its troubled history.

Even the Irish locals avoid Leap Castle after the sun goes down, afraid of what lurks within. The ancient walls hide secrets of a dark and deadly past. Over 400 years ago, during High Mass, a priest was murdered by his own brother in what is now called the “bloody chapel”.

The dungeon was also a source of excruciating pain and unendurable misery for tortured prisoners as they waited for the sweet release of death. With such notorious implements as thumbscrews, the rack, and the iron maiden, there was no end to the pain this den of misery subjected its denizens to.

Around the year 1900, workmen hired to clean out Leap Castle pulled up the drop floor of the dungeon and discovered human skeletons piled on top of each other as though they were tossed in like cordwood. Death was everywhere in Leap Castle. And now, it lingers in the very living stone.
