Castle prepares for ghost hunters siege

GHOST hunters and paranormal enthusiasts take note — something spooky is happening in Carlow.

Due to a series of “unexplained phenomena” at Duckett’s Grove, local authorities have closed the castle to night-time visitors — but not to protect them from eerie encounters.

Instead, plans are under way to prepare the gothic building for night-time tourists who are hoping for an appearance by one of the properties’ ghostly residents.
