A bloody history haunts this location in the 'Emerald Isle' with murders and the mysterious andgruesome findings in the oubliette or ubliet. An oubliette is a dungeon or 'forgotten place' often found in medieval castles. A little somethingI found in time for the upcoming Halloween holiday. I hope you enjoy.

Lady Leena grabs achalice and drinks some rather red and murky liquid from it, '"Tis quite delicious," shethinks to herself and manages to wipe a small crimson spot from the corner of her mouth.

I would certainly "leap" from there as fast as I could :0 Interesting post Leena

Thanks Sophia! I think this quote from the website was most chilling .....

/me shudders

"Around c.1900 workmen who where hired to clean out the ubliet made a hideous
discovery, human skeletons laid piled on top of each other. It took three full
cart loads to remove all of the bones. Among the bones workmen found a pocket
watch made in the 1840's. It is not certain if the dungeon was still in use
then."

I don't really believe in it, but it is a nice story nonetheless.

MarieLouise walks through the wall and disappears in the darkness.

I love creepy castle stories heh ;D

I humble request that you don't disappear Madame ..... after all, what would His Majesty do without you? *gently teasing and grins*

Oh yes, you are right! And then who should spend all that tax money? Then it would just be laying around in the treasury getting dusty! You have convinced me, I'll no longer disappear!

Me too )

Oh my a dangerous place indeed I was terrified when I went there with a few friends to stay the night D:

I wonder whether there is any relationship between Leap castle and the fiscal cliff...

as for an oubliette- I always thought is was a piece of plumbing in a lady's bathroom.

Oh wow, that's a story I would like to hear
