I-Ireland iyizwe elinezinto ezihlukahlukene kakhulu. Amagquma aluhlaza aphendukayo adedela amawa akhohlisayo phezu kwe-Atlantic. Imibhangqwana ethanda ukuthula enothando lwezwe oluholele ekuxabaneni okuchitha igazi kakhulu emlandweni womhlaba. UbuKatolika obushisekayo buhambisana nenkolelo yakudala yobuqaba kubantu bezinganekwane.

Yindawo lapho umlingo usabonakala ungenzeka futhi ngakho-ke akumangalisi ukuthi isingathe ama-hauntings amaningi adumile. Ngempela, kubonakala sengathi cishe wonke amadolobhana namadolobha ase-Ireland anomthombo okungenani owodwa, insimu, noma isakhiwo esisodwa. Ngomoya woSuku LukaSt. Patrick, ngicabange ukuthi ngizokhanyisa ezimbalwa zalezi zindawo ezinhle nezindaba zazo.

Ikhaya likaBram Stoker

Edume kakhulu namuhla ngokubhala inoveli enkulu yesiGothic Dracula, U-Abraham "Bram" Stoker wayaziwa kakhulu empilweni yakhe njengomphathi webhizinisi we-Lyceum Theatre kanye nomsizi womuntu siqu kumlingisi, u-Henry Irving.

Ngekhulu le-16, le nqaba yayiyikhaya lomndeni wakwa-O'Carroll, umndeni onamandla wezikhulu. Lapho inzalamizi yomkhaya ifa ngo-1532, kwagqashuka umbango wezikhundla, waqophisana nomfowabo ukuze kunqunywe ukuthi ubani owayezothatha izintambo zokuphatha. Omunye wabazalwane wayengumpristi futhi lapho ethula iMisa endlini yokukhonzela yomkhaya, umfowabo wabhodloza endlini yesonto walimala kabi umpristi. Isenzo se-fratriccide esihambisana nesenzo sokuhlambalaza sokubulala ngesikhathi somkhosi ongcwele sidale lokho okukholakala ukuthi i-poltergeist noma i-elemental spirit haunting.

Kukholakala futhi ukuthi i-oubliette etholakala ekamelweni elixhumene nendawo eyaziwa manje ngokuthi i-Bloody Chapel yengeze uphethiloli emandleni alo moya oyinkathazo. Kulabo abangazi, i-oubliette yaziwa nangokuthi indawo yokukhohlwa. Ngokuvamile, kwakungadluli imbobo yetshe ejulile elayishwe phansi, iziboshwa zazilahlwa endaweni evulekile futhi zingaphinde kukhulunywe ngazo. Iziboshwa ezinenhlanhla kunazo zonke e-Leap Castle zingawela phezu kwe-spike engamamitha angu-8 futhi zife ngokushesha...abaneshwa cishe bangabulawa indlala kancane njengoba iphunga lokudla lehla lisuka ehholo lokudlela eliseduze.

Ukuhlupheka okunjalo bekuyondla kalula umoya wesisekelo okuthiwa uzulazula emahholo kuze kube namuhla udala umonakalo kulabo abanesibindi sokungena endaweni yakhona. Abanikazi nezivakashi baye babika ukuthi basunduzwa ezitebhisini, bakhubeka ngenkathi behla ngezitebhisi, futhi babona ngisho nengxenye ye-spectral enezimbobo ezimbili ezimnyama lapho kufanele kube khona amehlo ayo.

Mhlawumbe edakwe kancane futhi ekhathele ngenxa yomkhosi wosuku, walala emsebenzini wakhe. Ngaleso sikhathi, lokhu bekuyoba yilokho esikubheka njengecala lokufa manje. Wadutshulwa wabulawa amanye amasosha ayesebenza naye ngaphandle kokuqulwa kwamacala. Lapho ezwa ngokufa komyeni wakhe, umakoti osemusha wagxuma waze wafa esuka ezindongeni zenqaba.

Akuphelanga sikhathi esingakanani kwaqala ukubonakala kweNkosikazi Emhlophe. Wayevame ukubonakala phambi kwezingane eduze kwenqaba, ebonakala njengomqaphi phezu kwabancane nabangenacala. Omunye umhlengikazi ubike ukuthi umbone emi phezu kombhede wengane egulayo esesimweni sokuthandaza. Akazange, nokho, agcine umusa ofanayo nokunakekela amasosha aseCharlesfort. Muva nje ngasekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20, amasosha, ikakhulukazi izikhulu, abike ukuthi ehliswe izitebhisi ngaphakathi kwesakhiwo ngemva kokubona amazwibela eNkosazana Emhlophe.

U-Bury akabanga nandaba nokulalela ngesikhathi etshelwa lokhu, nokho, futhi kubikwa ukuthi phakathi kwendunduma eyodwa nezintathu zacekelwa phansi ekwakhiweni kwalesi nqaba. Ekucekeleni phansi izihlahla nezindunduma zefaery, uBury wehlise lokho okukholakala ukuthi kuyisiqalekiso emhlabeni nesakhiwo. Emakhulwini eminyaka edlule, abantu baye babika ukubonwa kwemimoya eminingi futhi bagijima namalungu athukuthele omjaho wasendulo we-faery ngaphakathi kwezindonga nezizathu zaseCharleville.

Abafundi nothisha babike ukuthi babone le ndoda selokhu yashona. Uhamba emahholo ekolishi ephethe ikhithi yokunqunywa nezitho zomzimba.
