Medium set to give talk on Ireland’s top haunted house
WRITER and historian Helena B. Scott is giving a talk in New Ross Library on Tuesday, April 9. at 7 p.m. during which she will outline the story that lies beneath the surface of Ireland’s most haunted house.
Scott will give a synopsis of the storied history of the Hook Peninsula, showcasing its dualistic nature, reflected in the Hermetic principle often associated with the Knights Templar.
Loftus Hall (now Ladyville House) is popularly known as Ireland’s most haunted house due to a centuries’ old tale involving the devil, a game of cards, and the young Lady Anne Tottenham who died of a broken heart. However, its real and untold story is much more sinister and haunting.
Like many historic haunted sites, the hall has an ancient story to tell that began long before it was ever built, under the stars worshipped by Druids. Many of its secrets are actually hidden in plain sight, veiled by symbolism but can be easily read by those who were meant to decipher their cryptic language. The hall’s story is also linked to the Knights Templar unjustly arrested at dawn on Friday the 13th, 1307, as well as Freemasonry and the Western Esoteric tradition.
Signed and dedicated copies of Helena’s book will be available for purchase on the night.
