Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Ireland, Volume 3: Castles, Abbeys and Rathlin Island
Episode notes
About this episode
| Volume 3 returns to Ireland for ghost stories connected with coastal ruins, islands, castles, colleges and old estates. The route crosses both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, bringing together places whose documented histories are as varied as the legends attached to them.
The episode begins with Staad Abbey and the Old Bundoran Road in County Sligo, then visits Rathlin Island and Ballygally Castle in County Antrim. It continues to the Rhetoric House at Maynooth College, Old Bawn House, Classiebawn Castle, Kinnitty Castle, the Abbey of the Black Hag in County Limerick, Leamaneh Castle and Gracehill House. Castles and religious ruins often accumulate stories over many generations, while houses and islands preserve more local traditions. The episode distinguishes historical places from later reports and folklore, creating a St. Patrick’s season journey through haunted Ireland without presenting legend as settled fact. |
