Ballyseede Castle was built by the Fitzgerald family in the 16th century. Gerald Fitzgerald, the owner, was beheaded on this castle and rumour has it that his spirit still wanders around its premises, as if to ensure that everything works fine. Another famous ghost is that of Hilda, who appears only on 24 March of every year. No one really knows her story and how she came to haunt Ballyseede, but her eerie presence was enough to scare every single guest away one night in 1998.

Kinnitty Castle was built in 1209, it was burned by the Republicans in 1922 and rebuilt as it is today in 1928, managing to retain the High Cross and the Abbey wall of the original structure intact. Partly due to its turbulent history and partly due to its Gothic-style architecture, Kinnitty Castle is home to a few ghosts. Especially the Geraldine and Elizabeth rooms are the ones where most guests have experienced paranormal activities. The ghost of Hugh the monk is one of the most famous ones. Although many guests and members of the staff have encountered him, he only appears to communicate with one employee.

Commodore Hotel was built in 1854 and had been used as a hospital and makeshift morgue for the wounded and victims of World War I. With such a turbulent past it is no wonder that the hotel is a little more than haunted. Apart from the ghosts of the wounded who died there during the war, guests have reported hearing the eerie cries of a baby in the upper rooms, where its body is said to have been found abandoned in a suitcase in one of the rooms in the 1900s. There are also some unexplainable drops of temperature at around the time when a young British army captain took his life in the hotel.

Steeped in history, Castle Leslie is far from just a historic castle hotel where guests can enjoy their privacy and tranquility. The castle offers everything a guest can expect from a historic building like this, ghosts included. Thankfully, the ghosts that have been sighted so far are not malevolent at all, since they appear to be the original owners who wander around the castle and touch a few things here and there.
