Duckett's Grove in Carlow
Scarefest - Carlow's family-friendly Halloween Festival - is coming to town from October 26 to November 4.
Events include a public witch trial where you can take your seat in the historic Carlow Courthouse, in the centre of Carlow Town and watch on as a local woman accused of witchcraft goes on trial before the judge and jury.
Hear the harrowing evidence from witnesses complaining of being on the receiving end of the witches' spells. If found guilty, the witch will be led from the courthouse to the Town Hall where she will be burned at the stake.
There will also be paranormal investigations on Friday, October 26 and Saturday, October 27. Do you believe in the paranormal? Have you ever wanted to take part in a real paranormal investigation with real paranormal investigators?
Then get your tickets now for an event that is not for the feint hearted! Explore the historic ruins of Duckett's Grove, said to be one of the most haunted places in Ireland. Are you brave enough?
