Ghost. Ireland

A visitor to the mansion photographed the ghost of a girl who met the devil. A 21-year-old tourist from London did not expect that a visit to the Loftus Hall mansion in County Wexford, Ireland, would have such a strong impression on him. The fact is that the guy accidentally took a picture of a ghost.

A 21-year-old resident of the London borough of Lewisham, Thomas Beavis, traveling in Ireland, did not miss the opportunity to visit the mansion shrouded in gloomy glory Loftus Hall (Loftus Hall) in county Wexford. This estate is famous for the fact that supernatural phenomena allegedly occur in it.

Locals say that in 1766, the Tottenham family moved to Loftus Hall and soon something terrible happened to the youngest member of the family — the girl Ann.

According to legend, one evening a stranger knocked on the door of the mansion and asked to shelter him until the morning. The family cordially welcomed the unexpected guest and offered to pass the time with a card game of whist, in which little Ann also took part. During the game, the girl dropped one card on the floor and bent down to pick it up, when she suddenly saw that the stranger's legs ended in cloven hooves. The girl straightened up and asked the man why he had hooves instead of feet, and at that moment he broke through the roof and disappeared.

After meeting with the devil, Ann became ill and for this reason, family members began to shun her. In the end, the girl was locked in her room, where she died. The legend states that Ann, who refused food and water, died sitting on a chair, and her relatives had to bury her in this position because they could not straighten the stiffened corpse. Since then, the ghost of the girl allegedly constantly haunts Loftus Hall.

Thomas Beavy and his friends, attracted by the stories about the ghostly resident of the mansion, visited it together with other tourists and captured the facade of the building. At the end of the tour, the 21-year-old Briton was skimming through the pictures when he suddenly noticed the outline of a girl's figure on one of them.

Looking closely, the guy saw not only a ghost, but the creepy face of an old woman who was near him.

“I took photos to show my mom and previewed them when we were driving home. That's when I noticed this little girl. I was so amazed that I felt a chill go through me—" Thomas admitted in an interview with Metro. - Perhaps the spirit of Anne Tottenham still lives in Loftus Hall. This is the only explanation for what I saw in the picture. You know, I usually believe what I see, but in this situation I can't explain what is happening in this photo”"
