"There are few among us who didn't grow up with the nursery rhyme 'London Bridge is falling down', but that was pretty much where my knowledge on the topic stopped. What I was able to find out through research is that the London Bridge has a fascinating, far-reaching history that dates back about 2000 years! So buckle up, and let’s get into the weeds." - Today's special guest & local celebrity, Kaci Gebora or otherwise known as Sir Cassius of Londinium.

Today we will be talking about what is considered the most haunted house in Ireland. Ever since it was originally built in 1350, this structure has remained an architectural marvel. Though this stunning Georgian mansion in Fethard-on-Sea, Ireland has long been revered for its beauty, it’s also inspired terror for its chilling tales of ghosts. This property has seen many deaths but most known for the night it was host to the Devil himself. Located at New Ross Y34 YC93 Wexford (Or County Wexford), Ireland, on the Hook Peninsula, we are diving into the story of Loftus Hall.

"Dearest new neighbor at 657 Boulevard, Allow me to welcome you to the neighborhood. Do you know the history of the house? Do you know what lies within the walls of 657 Boulevard? Why are you here? I will find out. Who am I? There are hundreds of cars that drive by 657 Boulevard each day. Maybe I am in one. Do you need to fill the house with the young blood I requested? Better for me. Was your old house too small for the growing family? Or was it greed to bring me your children? Once I know their names, I will call to them and draw them to me. Welcome my friends, welcome. Let the party begin." - Unidentified spawn of Satan known as The Watcher.

The only thing guaranteed in life, is death and taxes. Welcome to Catacombs of Paris. You likely already know where this one is heading... have your puke bag or bucket ready because it's a story you can't help but smell and visualize.

Also, please share your choice of burial/final send off. Vikings had it right. It is officially on the internet that Lanie does NOT want a send off in Ashleys backyard pool and this is my partial, final wishes in writing.... unless you (Ashley) want to be haunted forever while I speak German aggressively to you when you are the most relaxed - Lanie
