Inside Ireland’s Most Haunted Mansion — And The Dark Truth About Its Cursed Past

A fierce storm batters the walls of Loftus Hall, shaking the Irish mansion. Inside, the Tottenham family are taking shelter. But as they sit huddled together, another sound disturbs their home. Somebody is knocking at the door. The family answers to find a man clearly in need of some help. They invite him inside — but something isn’t quite right. This guest isn’t to be trusted. On the surface he seems perfectly affable, but he’s actually pure evil. In fact, he isn’t a man at all. It’s the Devil himself.

This terrifying episode is said to have taken place back in the 18th century, but the story doesn’t end there. No, in the years that followed this alleged incident, countless more supernatural occurrences have apparently taken place within Loftus Hall. Even today, people still insist that the house in County Wexford is home to beings not of this world.

Loftus Hall has seen a great deal of visitors over the centuries. The enormous property has, after all, served as a school, a hotel and a convent at different points in time. Maybe, then, some of the souls that once resided within this place never quite managed to make it out again?

There are those, for example, who claim that a young girl can sometimes be seen wandering around the house. This girl, it appears, lost her life there long ago. Rumor has it that a priest was even brought to Loftus Hall in order to perform an exorcism on the girl’s spirit. His efforts were not successful.

The tale of the girl and her exorcism has been passed down through the generations, creating an immense sense of unease about Loftus Hall. And when the property was opened up to visitors back in 2012, this reputation was only reinforced. People have left that house with some very strange memories.
