Backstory: "Charles Tottenham became Lord of the manor (having to adopt the Loftus name to inherit lands and title as per instructions of Nicolas Loftus 1752) by marrying the Anne Loftus, daughter of the Viscount Loftus, and they had six children, four boys and two girls – Elizabeth and Anne. The wife, Anne, became ill and died while the girls were still young. Two years later, Charles married his cousin, Jane Cliffe, and they lived together, along with Anne, in Loftus Hall.
One evening Charles was resting in his home in 1775 with his second wife and daughter from his first marriage. During a storm, a ship unexpectedly arrived at the Hook Peninsula, where the mansion was located. A young man was welcomed into the mansion. Anne and the young man became very close. One night, the family and mysterious man were in the Game Room playing cards. In the game, each player received 3 card, except for Anne who was only dealt 2. A butler serving the Tottenham family at the table was just about to question the man when Anne bent down to pick another card from the floor, which she must have dropped. It is said that when Anne bent over to pick up the card, she looked beneath the table to see that the mysterious man had a cloven foot.
It was then that Anne stood up and said to the man you have a cloven foot and the man went up through the roof, leaving behind a large hole in the ceiling. Soon Anne became mentally ill. It is believed that the family was ashamed of Anne and locked her away in her favorite room; where she would be happy, yet out of everyone's view; which was known as the Tapestry Room. She refused food and drink, and sat with her knees under her chin, looking out the Tapestry Room window. It is said that when she died, they could not straighten her body, as her muscles had seized, and she was buried in the same sitting position in which she had died.
There has never been any proven haunting or ghosts until it became a tourist attraction. Then rumors started of nuns dying, the devil visiting and children falsely being buried in the walls. There are "Paranormal" events in which actors and machines give the impression of hauntings for visitors."Pictures and more info: ancient-origins.net/unexplained-phenomena/loftus-hall-most-haunted-house-ireland-has-not-revealed-all-its-dark-secrets-021750
