Regular readers will know we like visiting ancient sites in Ireland.
I know there a lot of people on the Internet who do not believe in God or the devil or even the living dead. But this is what happened one late summer day to us:
The above photos were taken in 2017. Google photos reminded me of the date the other day.
There was my youngest son, my wife and me. We had seen the tourist signs for an old Franciscan Priory, a castle and an Hell Fire Club.
We were the only visitors walking through the grounds. The three of us immediately very uncomfortable and that someone was watching us.
I walked along into the ruins and a white round orb or like circle of mist passed over my shoulder and out the cloister windows. Then several more flew passed me.
It felt like we were in a room full of people. Yet only 3 of were present in broad day light.
We all felt really scared and couldn't leave the building quick enough.
I have seen ghosts before and wrote about them on here. I have watched many ghost programmes and read about white orbs and also pyschometry when things or events get stuck in water like rivers etc.
The Hell Fire Club was built the same year the Franciscans left the Priory. Hell Fire Clubs were mainly drinking clubs for rich aristocrat types. But there are tails of them trying to rise the devil.
I have also read that Cromwellian soldiers or Roundheads ransacked the Priory and people were murdered there.
We definitely felt uneasy and picked up on the tragedy of the place and that spirits were not at rest. None of us ever wish to visit the place again.
Have you had similar ghostly experiences or do you know of a haunted building near you?
Here's a song that we should have been singing:
No such stories here, I'm afraid. Although, I've put it out there now. 👻
ReplyDeleteThanks Jules. We once visited the battle field site of Culloden and picked up on a profoundly sad place. I think I am a sensitive to such things. Thanks.
