87. Lore & Legends | The Murder Hole Room: Hauntings at Leap Castle
Manage episode 480550741 series 3520655
Leap Castle in Ireland is home to numerous stories of real-life hauntings. In this first episode of a multi-part series, the two legends known as “The Bloody Chapel” and “The Red Lady,” two of its earliest tragedies, help to create the malevolent energy bound to the castle’s limestone halls.
In “The Bloody Chapel,” the O’Carroll family’s heir, a gentle priest, is murdered by his brother over the inheritance of the castle’s lordship - during Mass, right in front of the congregation.
In “The Red Lady,” centuries later, another lord of the O’Carroll dynasty continues the murderous tradition when his wife discovers his infidelity, unleashing her spirit eternally upon the halls where she is still seen today.
Macabrium is produced by Macabrium Creative and hosted by Megan Alda and Derek Stephen Brown, with writing and research by Chloë Kibbe, Megan Alda and Derek Stephen Brown.
