So buckle up, and let’s get into the weeds." - Today's special guest & local celebrity, Kaci Gebora or otherwise known as Sir Cassius of Londinium.

Loftus Hall

Today we will be talking about what is considered the most haunted house in Ireland. Ever since it was originally built in 1350, this structure has remained an architectural marvel. Though this stunning Georgian mansion in Fethard-on-Sea, Ireland has long been revered for its beauty, it’s also inspired terror for its chilling tales of ghosts. This property has seen many deaths but most known for the night it was host to the Devil himself. Located at New Ross Y34 YC93 Wexford (Or County Wexford), Ireland, on the Hook Peninsula, we are diving into the story of Loftus Hall.
