In the second episode of this series on the hauntings at Ireland’s most haunted castle, known as Leap, two more tales from its many mysteries emerge.

When an investigator named Michael visits Leap Castle, drawn to its haunted history, he is confronted by the spirits of two small children, young girls, Emily and Charlotte.  Their ghostly presence is marked by the sound of footsteps—Charlotte’s with a distinctive limp—echoing through the corridors and the Bloody Chapel. What is their story? Are they real victims of the violent history of Leap Castle, or a malevolent manifestation?

Then, in the early 1900s, “secret” occult author Mildred Darby’s encounter with a mysterious, foreboding room unearths new horror. As she explores the oppressive shadows and unsettling noises of the chamber, Mildred senses a dark history that seeps into her very bones, forever altering her life within the castle’s ancient walls, and instilling a curiosity that turns dangerous.
