The strange tale of Loftus Hall in the South East of Ireland and what happened at the mansion one dark night back in the 18th century. More Irish ghostly tales here: www.amazon.com/...
Forget "The Exorcist" or "Amityville Horror" nonsense!
Loftus Hall was the original. This building was once accurately described as The Most Haunted Place on Earth, such was the fear it exerted over its inhabitants and the locals from the region.
The mansion still stands there today, though it is now unused and under lock and key. If you are a tourist in the Waterford / Wexford area, it's certainly worth a drive down to the peninsula to check out the beautiful view of the open sky and the sea from Hook Head lighthouse. And along the way, you can stop at the gateway to Loftus Hall and stare in over the fields at the isolated building.
After the incident portrayed in this video clip, there were other hauntings too in later years. Finally, an exorcism was carried out. A Catholic priest named Father Broaders was the exorcist whose work succeeded in quelling most of the paranormal activity. The hauntings became much rarer after that - though still did not die out entirely.
Father Broader's gravestone still stands today, not far from Hook Head. On the stone is written the following epitaph:
"Here lies the body of Thomas Broaders,
who did good and prayed for all,
and who banished the devil from Loftus Hall".

This must be one of my favourite videos on RU-vid. I particularly like the way the animation was made, with the simple effects and all. It is truly inspiring. Actually, I do not care if the plot is inconsistent with the legend of Loftus Hall or not. I like the story as it is.

Thanks Pedro. Here's another short film I did, my very first one using actors. Shot is in 3 days, but edited it for a YEAR (!). Let me know what you think: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zhZpY2cyr18.html

Thanks. Must make another one: my great grandmother had an excellent story about sitting reading the newspaper, late one night when everyone else had gone off to bed. She got a sudden creeping sensation there was someone standing behind her. She felt something grip her arm and felt she would be doomed if she looked back. So she stood up. Left the room. Went straight upstairs to bed. The next morning, there were 4 finger marks on the top of her arm and a bruise like a thumb on the underside.

Actually, although amateur, I liked it! I even liked the cut out characters because it gave life to the photo of the empty room. I didn't care for the screaming rat thing because I couldn't hear what the narrator was saying and it was too harsh on the ears. Better to let the story speak for itself and allow it to sink into the viewer's mind rather than add shock-factor screaming effects. That was fun! Thanks!

Lighthouses always seem to be the stomping grounds of a lot of sounds and sights not quite explainable. I know I should have been afraid -- but those paper doll puppets caused giggles -- still it is a good video on Loftus Hall and its card-playing visitor. So, the hole in the ceiling where the hooved visitor exited is still in Loftus? One would think it would have been repaired by now. What about the weather and all the coldness of rain and winter getting in and rotting the place?

Never mind the nay-sayers, this film is halirious! Its the serious voice, unnerving music combined with the cheap cut-outs for characters that make it so unique. Don't know what your budget was, but here in the USA they spend millions and most films are 100X worse. Have any of the Tottenhams ever commented I wonder?

also this is not what Loftus hall looked like then it was only two layers but then they renovated because they thought the queen was coming but she never came and the renovations bankrupted them this story is slightly different to the story they tell there there is a girl who is in love with him and she is the one who finds his clover feet and she goes and and is locked in a room and dies then her back is shaped like the chair she spent years in so they had to make a special coffin and her goat still haunts the house today

There's been many variations of this exact story, my family are in Clare and my uncle once dragged out a story where a man entered a nightclub sonewhere in Munster in the mid 20th century where he immediately began dancing, it did not take long for everyone to step a back and realise how good a dancer this individual was and then they looked down and saw chickens feet lol Alright, not hooves but chickens feet

Apart from "the card" story, there really isnt a whole lot else that was ever reported from the building. When it was a hotel in the 80's there wasnt to my knowledge any specific mention of paranormal incidents occuring or indeed before that period and after. The place undoubtedly has a creepy fascinating aura about it, although i doubt its actually haunted. Hope it gets refurbished and could definitely be used as a tourist attraction which would be good for the area.

thanks for your coment on my loftus hall vid,,,But just so u know that,s the same story as the hellfire club in Dublin and the same story is in a few counties in ireland,,The real story is about the daughter of charles tottenham got pregnant by the man who came to take shelter for a few days and her father ashamed , hid her even when she needed a doctor when giving birth he didnt get one,,so she died giving birth and so did the child and now she haunts the place.. it is blocked up now.

The Loftus Hall legend was some kind of an next Irish folklore. And the man with the devil boots was a sinner gambler, and a pirate or crook dress as a devil himself. In the end the stranger went up to the roof top, mean he escaped by running through with a clay smoking pipe. And a man made smoke bombs, and disappeared to the roof top. And he must be a man who met Stingy Jack.

I am watching and listening to this tale again.Voice over and sound effects are good and scary. It is very good, but those paper-stick puppets make me laugh. I am sorry -- can't help it. I appreciate your response earlier. If I visit there, I will go to Loftus Hall and look for the hole in the roof. Also, I will look where I am walking because certainly where roof holes are located so should one find beneath them buckets and puddles....and by now a freaking lake with ducks and swans. Smiling.

@goodkarma33 thank you. You have a couple of interesting videos posted over there on your channel. What are those, pianolas? I know they're not, since a pianola would have a keyboard up front, but am too lazy to google it....probably called cylinders or something. Very nice idea to record these tunes.
@openthebluetrapdoor
@openthebluetrapdoor 15 лет назад
Maith an fear! Ta ceart agat. I read that too when I did my own research. Oddly enough, the version I had always heard involved a group of card-playing men. No Anne to be seen! I suppose, like all good stories, the tale got garbled in the constant re-telling. A litle gets added and a little gets taken away. But yes, apparently it was Anne who saw the hooves and later went mad. I suspect there was some affair between her and the 'handsome stranger' who later became demonized in the story. Anyone?
