Sean Ryan used to host a O'Carroll Clan gathering in Leap that my whole family and I went to once. It was during the early 2000s and I remember hearing crying and loud thuds. Scared the life out of me, Safe to say I am not going back again!
You did such a great job with this video! The stories are horrific and tragic, but the history is fascinating. If you made this a series, I'd watch it all!❤
@WolfeMomma love your content!!! I always ( ten years at least) want to know about ireland, I'm from venezuela. And my boyfriend (we are dating a year know ) is from ireland , we meet in spain!!! Keep this
Love you videos, thank you for sharing!! But now I’m scared and can’t sleep lol!!! Keep thinking about the haunted place with the trap door leading down into the pit with the spikes and all the bodies/ bones. 😬😬😬😬
I knew about several of these. I have one related to my family. My great-grandparents lived in Millisle in County Down. My great grandad in 1928 or 29 after he married my great-grandmother, bought or leased a farm not far from where he grew up. The farm house was one of the oldest houses in the area as it was on a map dated 1750, but no one knows when it was built. The house was quite big and originally called Killaughey house after the townland it is in. A number of people lived in the house before they bought it. A Presbyterian minister lived in the mid 1800s and named it Millview, partly as it is not far from a windmill which you can see from the farm, but he was in the milling trade. As a child, my grandad would tell me stories of growing up on the farm. The farm had an orchard and he said when he was a child, he watched an apple floating in the air by itself. One of my great aunts also mentioned when she was home alone one night, she heard footsteps on the top floor of the house. I never thought much of it as a child. That was until I read a book on the history of Millisle and nearby areas, "Echoes of Millisle and District" by Grace Seymour. In the book it mentioned ghostly goings on in the house. It mentions a ghost in the orchard, footsteps being heard in the house, and on certain nights, you could hear the sound of horses and a carriage coming up the driveway into the courtyard of the farm. My great-grandad retired from farming in the early 1960s and my great-grandparents sold the farm and moved away from the area. In the 1980s, the house was sadly torn down as it was deemed unsafe. Given its age, I wish it hadn't have been though. I got a message once from the son of the last family to live in the house before it was torn down. He said when he was growing up there, he sometimes would hear footsteps in the house and saw a grate in the fireplace, moving by itself on more than one occasion. Not far away, my mum said as she was passing by she once saw two twin girls standing at the side of a road, beside a field, but when she turned around to see who they were, there was no one there. The corner of the field she saw them standing beside was once a graveyard up until the early 1600s when the graves were disinterred and moved somewhere else. Maybe the twins she saw might have been connected to that, maybe not, but she couldn't explain it as she said there was no way they could have disappeared in the time it took her to turn around.
Hi! I love your videos. I was looking for videos regarding Irish culture and customs, and I found yours. I've had some Irish friends (erasmus) when I was in college but I've never been in Ireland. Being a translator by trade, I'm really interested in linguistics. I've noticed you have the Canadian raising words like "mouth" and "about". Is it because your mom is Canadian or does Canadian raising occur in your region in Ireland? Also, would you consider to have a mix Irish English and Canadian English?
Thanks! I think it's just being raised by a Canadian (and spending the first few years of my life in Canada) that I have a Canadian twang. Yeah, I definitely have a mix of both English, would say both sidewalk and path.. both trunk and boot etc. I interchange without realising 😊
So I went on a UK tour with my best friends just years ago. It would be a two week trip and we are from the States. One of my top things to do was go to Leap Castle. I was able to get into contact with the owne(privately owned residence), and we agreed upon a date/time that we might come by. So people understand. This is a privately owned residence and you can't just walk up and ask to look around. Respect people's privacy. Just days before we were still in contact. Day of visit I kept the owner in the loop about where we were. (We had decided to drive the whole UK. Best way to do it!) We get to the castle and knock. We hear voiced inside. One was definitely a man talking to someone. We tried a few more times with long spaces in between knocks. We figured he might be on the phone or something and didn't want to disturb. Very long story short. Nobody ever answered the door and I was defeated. I had grown up knowing about Leap Castle, and it was on my bucket list. I would catch a flight back just to see it! The owner was incredibly nice. Love yoir channel and keep it up!❤❤❤
@@WolfeMomma before it was turned in to a museum my friends and i snuck in one evening and we saw this ghostely shape walk up a stairs and across the gantry where there was a floor but there was no floor and dissapeared. and there also was a rotten smell comming from one of the cells.
I think its awful the way it's taught. It's such a pity. Wish they would do an overhaul and teach it for fluency as opposed to learning certain words off by heart. My 3rd class teacher only spoke Irish and she had us all practically fluent by the end of the year, but then we lost it when we went back to the regular teaching.
@@WolfeMomma I agree. I see my grandkids get their Irish homework marked in red ink and it is so discouraging. It's a chore they have to do when they are tired after a long day. I wish they would make it fun with positive reinforcement. What they do now does not endear the language to kids at all.

@@WolfeMomma We actually didn't! And I didn't feel unsafe, didn't feel any evil vibes.
I love spooky stuff like this but the stories are horrifying
Love you videos, thank you for sharing!! But now I’m scared and can’t sleep lol!!! Keep thinking about the haunted place with the trap door leading down into the pit with the spikes and all the bodies/ bones. 😬😬😬😬
I was so freaked out too! Awful to think about that pit

Grew up knowing about Leap Castle yet you don't know it's in Ireland not the UK..
More more more!!!
Cute top
Thank you! 😊💗
Wicklow gaol is haunted too
That was my number 11! Didn't make the cut 😄

@@madladpjl no way! I have chills 😱
what is your opinion on how Irish is taught in Irish school?
I think its awful the way it's taught. It's such a pity. Wish they would do an overhaul and teach it for fluency as opposed to learning certain words off by heart. My 3rd class teacher only spoke Irish and she had us all practically fluent by the end of the year, but then we lost it when we went back to the regular teaching.

@@snirge Absolutely! My kids are the same, see it as a chore. I would love to see a change happen in the way they teach it.
