Clifden Castle - Haunted History

Clifden, Galway

Clifden Castle was built in the 19th century as a romantic gesture, but fell into disrepair during the Irish potato famine of 1845 and was abandoned. As a result, starving peasants moved into the remains of the castle and its grounds for shelter. Many of the poor died here, and it is said to be their ghosts that still haunt the castle to this day.
