Despite being closed for the winter, paranormal activity has continued at Lofus Hall - dubbed Ireland's most haunted house.
That's according to the owners who have just announced the reopening of the famous premises at the Hook for the new season.
'There have been a few strange goings-on, such as light bulbs not working and frosty temperature drops in certain areas of the house,' says Loftus Hall owner Aidan Quigley.
He reveals that recently The Irish Ghost Hunters, a group of spectre seekers, carried out a paranormal survey of Loftus Hall as part of a TV documentary, and their findings were 'somewhat disquieting'.
Location Manager and Lead Investigator with IGH, Tina Barcoe, says the team used practical hand-held devices which register temperature and energy readings.
'There were major temperature drops, particularly in the Chapel and the Tapestry Room. We also registered significant spikes in the electro-magnetic fields in some areas of the house, which indicates that something, an energy source, was close by. We also heard tapping noises within rooms that we were investigating.'
'The team in general got an unsettling feeling, and our investigation left us with more questions than answers. We're certainly looking forward to coming back again to see if these phenomena can be explained.' says Tina.
Last year Loftus Hall hit the international headlines when tourist Thomas Beavis snapped what appeared to be a ghostly apparition in a window of the Hall. The figure, believed to be that of Anne Tottenham who discovered the cloven hoof of the card playing stranger, went viral igniting world-wide curiosity about the Wexford landmark and its eerie past.
Guided tours of Loftus Hall are available daily and are suitable for all ages.
