Yeah there was a film made n such but imho its just a little over the top. I head out to hook most weekends, handy being only 5 minutes from my house and there is always 3/4 cars parked outside it. There must be alot of suspicious visitors around fethard!lol

two brothers like i said were living in it, one got back with the wife but heard hes since died, other built a newer house nearer wexford town.
as for loftus yip the film was a bit over the top, but the place is def haunted, i worked there long enough to hear a few things....

Your gonna hear creaking anywhere! I used to work in a small pub in saltmills, used to hear all sorts of noises but it was nothing more than a draught or warm floorboards. Its just your mind thats telling you its a haunting because you've convinced yourself it is from the stories!

went to school with the girls whose family owned that place in saltmills...
could be just the mind playing tricks but as you went up the small stairs in loftus by the kitchen (the nuns entry) there was a cross on the stairs every one used to jump over it........
seemingly a few of the nuns died on exact spot(legend has it)
and when loftus was being refitted as a hotel one of the owners nephews if my mind serves me right dropped dead at the same spot, and was only a young man at the time....
you would always get the feeling you were being watched so to speak, i never went upstairs on my own anyway(scaredy cat).
dont know why the government have not stepped in and done something about the place, surely its a listed building and its falling down in bits!!!
its an awful shame

[gamblitis]

Yeah its a shame alright, some of the interiors like the stairs for example are priceless works of art!Just having them sitting there hidden away is so stupid!

i wonder has anyone ever contacted wcc regards to this???
or as owner is still living do wcc have any legal rights to do anything??

[gamblitis]

I doubt it tbh. I'd say if they had any standing on it they would have acted already. I suppose it wouldn't cause any harm and ask them what the situation is on it. Interesting to see their response!

Just got a reply from WCC,

"The property is a protected structure under the County Development Plan 2007-2013 Reference WCC 0692.

It is privately owned as far as I am aware, as it is not in council ownership."

So unfortunately its protected but nothing can be done about it.Well thats what i can make from it. Haven't read the article yet but i doubt it says much.

hello there ! i am greatly interested in the house itself and the whole story behind it.. i have been gathering info and researching it for a while now.. one thing i noticed though is that there are No pictures of the inside of the house anywhere to be found, i have searched high and low, not even from when it was a hotel... why is this so?? Has any1 ever been inside Loftus Hall ? recently ? Is there anyway of getting inside the house for a lil look ? I have full respect for the property and the owner, but the curiousity of what lies behind the boarded up doors and windows is killing me !!!! HELP !!!

Aint searched hard enough Someone posted up pics on Boards of the inside IIRC. There have been many a thread on this place.

Btw, how easy is this place to access if this caretaker chap watches it and apparently so do a lot of locals. People talk about the interior etc. but seems a bit odd.
