Leap Castle – Ireland
This grey stone castle is hailed as the most haunted castle in Ireland. The history of Leap Castle tells of a warrior killing his brother, a priest. The name of the chapel, the Bloody Chapel, is a reminder of the bloodshed. The castle also has an oubliette: a deep dungeon accessible only from a door placed high up or in the ceiling, into which prisoners were pushed onto spikes in the floor. With such a ghastly past, there is sure to be a spirit or two wandering around this castle.
