There’s something to be said for haunted houses. They’re filled with history, stories, imagination—and sometimes they’re just plain fun. And if you’ve ever wanted to own one (or you’ve looked into buying your own castle in the past) Ireland has the perfect home for you. Loftus Hall, which is considered one of the most haunted houses in Ireland, is currently for sale for only €2.5 million ($2.95 million USD). A total bargain if you don’t mind sharing your new digs with a few undead inhabitants.
The palatial, 27,000-square-foot estate also includes 63 acres of land—including a private beach—22 rooms and recently-renovated walled gardens. Originally, it was built by a Norman knight in 1170, though the current foundations date back to 1350. Over the centuries it exchanged hands several times, including a number of wealthy families and two orders of nuns, until finally it was given to the Loftus family as part of the Cromwellian conquest in the mid-seventeenth century.
