Haunted Places Leap Castle Ireland Ghosts Posters and Art Prints

Leap Castle, an Irish stronghold constructed between the 13th and late 15th centuries, is shrouded in a grim history rivaling the darkest of tales. In a tumultuous power struggle among the O'Carroll clan, notorious for their sinister penchant for poisoning guests, a chilling incident unfolded within the castle's walls. A brother, acting as a priest during a mass, fell victim to fratricide, transforming the chapel into the infamous "Bloody Chapel," haunted by his tormented spirit. But the horrors didn't cease there. During renovations in the early 1900s, workers stumbled upon a concealed dungeon within the chapel, revealing a gruesome cache of human skeletons that filled three carts upon removal.
