Facing fears while terrifying punters at Cork's Nightmare Realm

Despite being scared of her own shadow, Jess Casey volunteers to join the crew at the Nightmare Realm to see if she has what it takes to terrify the punters.

For a journalist, I really do have a lot of irrational fears; heights, spiders, crowds, the dark, embarrassing myself in public.

I like to completely disregard the old adage of ‘face your fears’ preferring instead to just cover my eyes and cower quietly in a corner.
