What is the most haunted castle in Ireland?

Our vote for the most haunted castle in Ireland, goes to Malahide Castle which is the proud home to at least five ghosts. 

The Talbot family owned Malahide Castle for almost 800 years, with only a period of brief interruption between 1649 to 1660 when the forces of Oliver Cromwell took over the castle and it was given by Cromwell to Miles Corbet, one of his followers.

Miles Corbett however met a terrible fate when he hanged and quartered at Malahide for his atrocities during Cromwell’s reign and for being a traitor to the crown.

The Castle is north of Dublin and sits on 260 acres. Sir Richard Talbot was the original owner of the castle. For this service to Henry II during the Anglo-Norman conquest of Ireland he was granted the lands and port of Malahide. The oldest parts of the castle date from the late 12th century, although it was enlarged and the towers added in 1625 during the reign of Edward IV.

The castle remained in the hands of the Talbot family, with the exception of Corbett, until 1976.
