Leap Castle in Ireland is referred to as one of the most haunted castles in the country, with countless ghost stories involving mysterious monks, vengeful ladies, and even a malevolent elemental.

And with a history said to be as dark and violent as this, you have to wonder… is the elemental still roaming the castle, feeding off everything that happens inside?
