Malahide Castle looks polite enough from the outside. Manicured grounds.

Postcard Ireland.

The kind of place tour buses roll into without anyone gripping their seat too tightly.

But that’s the trick with places like this — the real story doesn’t live in the stone walls or the gift shop. It lives in what happened when nobody was watching… and in the long memory of a family who occupied the same ground for nearly eight hundred years.

In this episode, we peel back the tourist gloss and look at the actual history — the Talbot family, their power, their secrets, their scandals, and the very human mess that builds up when generation after generation refuses to let go.

This isn’t about jumping straight to ghost stories. It’s about betrayal, sudden deaths, political manoeuvring, violent endings, and the kind of unresolved business that tends to linger long after the last body is buried.

Because when a place has seen loyalty rewarded with ruin, love curdle into revenge, and privilege protect some while destroying others… you don’t need to stretch very far to understand why people still report footsteps in empty corridors and figures where no one should be standing.

This episode lays the groundwork — the bones beneath the hauntings — and once you hear it, Malahide Castle won’t feel quite so well-behaved again.
