    Just got home a little while ago, and had a chance to watch. Really chilling story. Good try to get into the crypt for review, a little square hole was intriguing. One must just try to imagine what her coffin must look like?
    Love the special effects!!!! Spooky spooky!! Anything to do with the devil is frightening.

    My mother lived at Loftus Hall with the nuns before she herself became a nun for a time. You know that thé famous staircase is one of only three in the world one in Loftus one under the sea on the Titanic and one in the Vatican. The staircase was crafted by the same people. We visited here last year it was very moving to see. Thanks so much for this video.

    • @SerenitySueGraveyards
      @SerenitySueGraveyards  11 місяців тому

      Yes, the staircase is absolutely stunning and definitely reminds me of the same in Titanic, I really hope the hotel development keep that stairs or it will be an absolute shame!! They say nuns roam the back stairs still in a ghostly fashion as at least one nun lost her life falling down the stairs, it's still marked with a cross, such a magnificent building

    As usual, such beautiful places. Even Loftis Hall with its awful history is a beautiful building. I love the spooky stuff. It is kinda sad that so many stones can no longer be read but we know that there are the remains of people just like us buried there. Their names might be forgotten, but the fact that they once lived is remembered. I love seeing the names and dates though. I keep hoping to see some of my distant ancestors resting places. And of course, more fairies. Lol. Another beautiful job Sue.
    Ps.... you should show your beautiful face more often.

    This is a great video for Halloween.
    My son and myself watch Ghost Adventures when we can. The
    episode when the Ghost Adventures group visited Loftus Hall is one of
    our favorites. I believe it was actually filmed on Halloween. I
    like Loftus Hall, it looks like it came
    right out of a Irish Ghost story. It looks to be in good condition as
    best as I can tell. I also liked the church and graveyard. Anne's crypt
    looks like both the family and the church does not want it to be opened ever again. Thank you very
    much, Sue and GV for another great
    walking tour. And, even though it is December, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
    Stay safe.

      ( Just kidding! ) I used to dream about living in a place like Loftus Hall, but I suppose between property taxes and maintenance, a person needs to be a multimillionaire, just
      to afford a place like Loftus Hall. Thank you, for getting back to me.

Yes, oh to own such a place, the staircase alone is worth thousands it was built by the same man who built titanic or so they say, also some tiles on the floors are unique, they even chopped the hands of the man who made them so he couldn't make anything like them again, also a story I heard, how true I don't know. I hope the new owners keep original features

    Hi Sue, in the Loftus Hall film from 1993 it explains the Tottenham and Broaders families argued as to where his final burial place would be and in the end they came to a compromise and was buried in a half catholic half protestant cemetery so even though its listed as church of ireland, there must be other catholic gravestones there too.
