Tours of Terror's first-ever GHOSTour of Scotland returned, and the castle-packed travel adventure was a huge success. About the only thing that could have made the vacation better was if the Loch Ness monster surfaced while the group was there. In its place was a magnificent rainbow across Loch Ness (see photo by Karri Snider). The event was hosted by Richard Felix of TV's "Most Haunted." Look for a complete review and tour report in an upcoming Horror Happenings.
While on their journey visiting the most haunted locales in Scotland, the tour-group of 50 decided that the next destination they wanted to ghost-hunt was Ireland. So whereas the 2012 GHOSTour returns to England, the first-ever GHOSTour to Ireland is scheduled to take place May 5-12, 2013.
Few places in the world are as spooky as Ireland. After Scotland, Ireland boasts the most haunted castles and reported lake monsters in the world. The tour is expected to visit sites such as: Dublin Castle, built in 1204, where invaders to the castle were beheaded and displayed on the castle wall. Countless decapitated bodies are buried under the castle. Their vengeful souls still roam the castle, and tour guides report poltergeist activity. Marsh’s Library, built in 1701, is an ornate library and the site of ghostly activity. Malahide Castle was the home of Lord Talbot and his descendant’s 1185-1973. The castle has a long history of being haunted. New Grange is a 5,000-year-old megalithic cemetery (burial mound). Leap Castle is said to be the most haunted castle in Ireland. Hill of Tara is the ancient site of Ireland’s high kings and pagan community prior to the emergence of Christianity. This was the site of the original renaissance faire.
Combine this with independent late-night séances, visits to graveyards, on-board classic ghost & genre films, a mad monster mash masquerade ball farewell party and other surprises, and you've got what should be one of the most memorable macabre tours in haunted history.
