Historical Attractions That Are Actually Kind of Creepy

15. The Eerie Past of Leap Castle (Ireland)

Leap Castle, often called "Ireland's most haunted castle," has a long and bloody history. Built in the 13th century, it has been the site of countless murders, betrayals, and battles. The most infamous event took place in the "Bloody Chapel," where one brother, a priest, was murdered by his own sibling during mass. The castle is also home to a chilling entity known as "The Elemental," a shadowy, grotesque figure accompanied by a foul odor. Visitors report strange noises, flickering lights, and a lingering sense of being watched. Leap Castle is a place where history's darkest moments feel unnervingly close.
