The Hellfire club

iamhunted · 02-10-2009 11:09am

I always wonder why the hell fire clubs are meant to be haunted/eveil etc. Is it because of the word 'hell' in the title?

These clubs were made up of rich people with fcuk all else to do but drink and debauch. that's it. no evil, no demons - just stories so people wouldnt disturb them.

good man - ive been waiting ages for someone to tell me of a half decent recent sighting and or paranormal occurance in the hell fire club. Please share the stories that are most recent ... love to hear one of them as I havent been able to find one that sounds halfway believable.

been going up there for the last 30 odd years with family and the dogs for walks. been in there on my own with no one around but the dog and never had any experiences. Its just a errie place because its a burnt out shell with some dark rooms. Worst thing is the smell of piss and broken glass. The woods around are scarier when your alone but thats just human instinct of being eaten by an animal

kilakee house is supposed to be haunted so stop off there on the way up

It's a mildly interesting place. I used to live near it, about a 45 minute walk from my house to the club.

I think the name is ridiculous tbh, I'm fairly sure The Hellfire Club is not the original name....someone just made it up and made up some silly stories about the Devil.

I mean come on, THE DEVIL himself visited some building on the top of a hill on the outskirts of Dublin. I'm sure Satan has better things to do.

There is nothing supernatural/paranormal about this place, it's just a little creepy because of its location, surrounded by woods.

If you are going there you have to be really carfull as i heard the devil has been seen there. I cant confirm but sources close to me have said that he is "evil" but does enjoy a game of cards.

If you do see somebody there there are sign's weather or not he is the devil . He will be red in appearence with distintive horns pertruding from his head. He is between 5 foot 6 to 5 foot 9.

One thing that cought most peoples attention was his distinctive legs which are red and hairy with hooves for feet. He has also been known not to wear any trousers.

I believe he has had a shave recently.

I'd say he popped by as he happened to be in the neighbourhood either on his way to, or on his way back from Loftus Hall. Apparently he done the same thing in both places, so zero marks there for creativity for oul nick.

Well I've never been to this place at all but I'd really love a visit.Will there be any upcoming visits to this place on here.Hear so many stories about the place and Kilakee house seems to have plenty stories too.Just a thought

Ive been up there many a time, nothing spooky up there at all. Cool little building but not a whole lot to see at all. Enjoy the 'LONG' walk up the hill !! ha

being from tallaght im well used to these stories, ledg has it that a few guys were in the hellfire club laying cards and one of them dropped a card on the floor, he bent down to pick up the card from under the table, and he noticed that one of them had hoofs instead of feet, hence the devil story,

that certainly seems to be a common irish ghost story
