    Chaleville Castle, Co. Offaly which is supposed to have the most paranormal activity of any building in Ireland was formally investigated by the UPRI and Paranormal Ireland last month.

    5 investigators using thermo sensors, EMF meters, Digital cameras, 0 lux (Nightshot) Cam-corders stayed in the Castle for 24 hours monitoring for activity.

    Still not seen any results of this posted yet though.

    I heard about this place alright, and was told it's meant to be crawling with unexplained happenings, but only in the "a friend of a frined of a friend of my uncle stayed there once" kinda way. Haven't seen or heard much to back up the claims...

    Only crazy shizzat I saw there last summer was amazing music and some dolt dressed up as a butterfly/flower thingy.

    Place isn't half infested by clegs and miges, though.

    Ahh the evil midgies.
    Stayed there quite a few nights(understatement). Only shizzat that happened to me was footsteps running at the bottom of my bed over to a window, window flew open, footsteps ran back. Nobody there. Didn't give a crap cos i had a mixture of wine n cider amongst other things earlier.The way i see it, If you book them, they will come!

    Whether or not there has been any sure sightings, you'd never find me in there for a night. I get the tingles even when I watch tv shows about these sort of things.

    Hey, you're a funny guy. That's Charleville in Co Cork. What we used to call Rath Luirc before all the town signs changed to An Rath for some reason.

    Never heard much about charleville castle but i have heard alot about leap castle being very haunted.
    There is a college in charleville, quest campus or something, i wonder how many sightings those students have had.

    My granny lived in charleville estate right next to the entrance. Been there countless times, nothing ever happened. Great oak trees for climbing. When did you stay Nick? Because members of the general public were never allowed stay as far as i know- you're only allowed look around the house during opening hours.

    I went down there aswell. It was good, nothing major happened but I got a ton of photos (yes I'm a bit snap happy :) )

    If anyone wants a peek they'rehere

    Nothing out of the ordinary there I'm afraid, saveing that for Malico and the others to look over.

    <edit>
    Oh you might be wondering about this picture, a TV crew from Fox came over awhile ago and to beef up the visit the stuck that thing down in the dungeon area. It looks bad to begin with but once you touch it you can feel the fakeness. Made of styrofoam or something. </edit>


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,633 ✭✭✭stormkeeper


    Kind of ruins it in a way to be honest.... lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭Nick_oliveri


    True but i'll never venture to the dungeons EVER AGAIN. Unless accompanied by a large amount of drunk people...of course. Thats a freaky fookin place- full of evil...evil i tells ya.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,633 ✭✭✭stormkeeper


    Derek Acorah said something along the lines of that, but we didn't seem to feel anything and we went there more than once... Okay, I had a really hot left ear, but that was it...

    This investigation happened over a year ago, while I was still in the PRAI... I wasn't aware this thread was still around, lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 606 ✭✭✭malico


    Check the PRAI website for the info on the castle. If we have a chance we'll organise another investigation, public, there.
