Loftus Hall: The House That Refuses to Be Owned

Ireland’s most infamous haunted house is once again up for sale — but can Loftus Hall ever truly be tamed?

For centuries, the same tale has echoed through its decaying halls: a stranger, a storm, and a game of cards with the devil. But the real story has remained buried — until now. WATCH VIDEO

Loftus Hall, which is reported to be Ireland's most haunted house, has been put up for sale, although I had been aware of its future date for over a year. While various sources mention that a price has not been set, offers of more than €4m are expected for the Co Wexford property, which sits on 63 acres of land. Paddy McKillen Jr is selling the property, having purchased it for €1.75m in 2022.

In my book, written on the Hall’s 666th anniversary, I unravel what others have ignored: its hidden ties to Templar networks, Freemasonry, and the esoteric architecture aligned with ancient ley lines. Through my research — recognised by The Irish Times, American Paranormal Magazine, and institutions like the College of Psychic Studies and the history web portal Ancient Origins — the truth behind the myth is finally revealed.

Since publication, the Hall has been altered in a failed attempt to transform it into a hotel. It is now closed to the public. What I captured in these pages no longer exists.

Only 3 hand-numbered Collector’s Editions remain (signed paperback copies are also available, but these only contain a selection of images). When they’re gone, so is your only chance to experience Loftus Hall as it was — and to finally uncover the truth that history tried to erase.

This isn’t folklore. It’s forbidden history. And it’s waiting for you.

Discover Loftus Hall’s true story behind the myth and own a small part of Irish history.
