Kilkenny Castle

Kilkenny Castle
Kilkenny City, Kilkenny, Ireland.

Kilkenny Castle was built in 1195. It is now maintained by the Irish State and some of its rooms are open to the public.

The castle is reportedly home to as many as 41 ghostly inhabitants. The most well-known of these is the white lady who is sometimes seen roaming the staircases and corridors and walking through the castle gardens. Some visitors to the castle believe they have even caught her on camera.

An electronic visitor counter has reportedly continued to count visitors long after the castle gates have been secured for the night. That part of the castle is cited over the former dungeon where countless souls would have been incarcerated, many of whom will have died there.
