@AWE Hey great place, fascinating! I just want to let you know that rusty heavy thing you picked up by the downstairs window? Well, it's actually a MAN TRAP! Made and used in the medieval times, they would be laid out, wide open and camouflaged to be disguised using the leaves, sticks whatever and placed around as you would land mines!! Once something touches the plate it releases the parts that literally snap the bones in the ankle or in the foot. Either way you are caught, stuck, in absolute agony and bleeding profusely - death is imminent, either there and then or if you survive until you're discovered then you will no doubt die from infection - slowly! My assumption is that Mr Trench had these man traps concealed only in areas which his servants would utilise in an escape plan! The traps would be set 'open' alongside hedgerows and wooded area's that appealed to potential escapees because of the natural cover they afforded. Nobody other than Mr Trench and perhaps his gamekeeper would know about them, but they like all traps need checking daily so that they remain 'set'! As Trench was notorious for killing and burying servants on the property, its my guess those servants had, had their lower leg/ foot totally mangled and as most died on the very spot through bleeding out due to a severed artery, OR you'd eventually die from the infection, shock and trauma. Mr T wouldn't have had this runaway nursed in a bed until he died now, would he?? Absolutely not!! So I'd imagine he'd shoot them. The only thing he wanted back from the escapee would be the trap hanging off his ankle!! They have these man traps in glass cages inside some really old museums that have medieval torture devices and the infamous man traps but for safety's sake they're inside an alarmed cabinet!! But that's definitely what that kind of trap is, just please don't get curious and fiddle about with it, as I can assure you that thing will have your arm off as quickly today as it did over 500 years ago when the tortuous medieval folk turned man hunting into a national sport!! Now I've said that I'll get on enjoying the rest of seeing this beautiful house, but it has definitely got a heavy aura of sadness, pain and power and torment also. The power and torment energy has to be Trench's and he's still there being an absolute bastard, bullying and mistreating those servant spirits that are a residual energy as they've nowhere else to go. I do love video's like this and many urbex have captured loads of paranormal evidence, and I think you do when you aren't looking so hard!! I'll sub and do the 👍on my way out!! 😂😂😂

whats with the roof it has like archways ?

I was there ....Woiodlawn County Galway

Mrs H 🇬🇧 .... The tax on Windows was back in the day extortionate that's where the saying comes from " Day light robbery "

Sick of it 🫠

Good reply

A couple of weekends.😂

well, i can tell you, if they buy entry level wood windows, the windows alone would cost near $292,000, before tax or labor!! so yeah, theres that haha

Having to tear up the walls and install modern electricity and insulation alone would be about 3-5 million euro because of the sheer size of the place.. might be a lot more actually.

Would be like renovating a small town under one roof and it's railroad Lol 🥴👍

It's usually cheaper to tear it down and rebuild when it's so far gone like this. It's sad that we let so many places like just disappear into the night.

Defo amazing x

So Beautiful and yet Dreadfully sad. Do you think they who lived here were ever at awe for having so much Beauty always around them.. sadly they just knew We Didn't have what they had! There is so many things I wish you could save. New Subscriber 🙏 🇺🇸

Could very well be and that could be why this place is supposedly haunted. Who knows ? 😊 I would love to know where the mausoleum is located. It may need to be inspected for vandalism.

@Dianaboyd7415 I had to stop and read this because I knew I had not posted on this piece of treasure Dave found but your name caught me off guard..lol I agree with everything you say so I won't have to post now cause you said it all....thanks for the smile with your name

@@dianneboyd7471 Thanks Dianne, Boyd is my married name.

Yes I agree it's from that x

Imagine they stuck a lot of work and time into those old, beautiful buildings, when today we build absolute crap, based on cost savings and being "modern". What a shame.

It’s in Ireland not the uk

opps!!

​@@melissaholt5731.... . Hey, I do the same. 😊 We are only human.

@@lindatimmons3675 Thank you I agree lol

I'm working on a KZfaq channel but minds about true crime and Paranormal. You know, like if somebody passes away in the home. I talk about their story more about the victims that they're murdered etc. Criminal profiling, the only thing is I've never done the KZfaq thing. I don't know how to edit. So anybody got any information on how I get it started?

Amazing I find places and film as I see them x

I did some research on the property and it is supposed to be restored but it seems there is no real money and the rest is all volunteers. There was a fire in the 70’s and it was repaired but now it’s just sitting there.

@@reneezie Fascinating house and brilliant information. Thank you 👋 Intriguing 🤔 Rich 🇬🇧

​​@@reneezie..... I wonder if they could or would take donations for the renovation of it. As with all of these magnificent homes and mansions after the owners die they are justi left to wither away. France Italy and Portugal all have some of the most beautiful abandoned places left that are just falling and crumbling away. So much history is just being left to wither away.

Glad you enjoyed

Such a shame to see it so bare x

This one has been bought by a businessman and he's planning on turning it into a hotel with spa and all. It will cost millions to restore. If you watch the video that Finders Beepers History Seekers did it looks like the restoration process has started. But I don't live in Ireland so I don't know.

Yeah was amazing place loved everything about it I'm thinking I need to go back at night x

I'd love to see it

Glad you like them!

Especially when you consider the absolute luxury that they themselves were able to enjoy, why be hateful to those less fortunate? I’ll never understand the mindset that allows that behavior 😢

WICKED

May not have always been a mean evil wicked person, it is mentioned he was a WAR HERO, wars change a person not always for the better either. It is also mentioned that he grew darker, back then the world had NEVER HEARD the term PTSD . That could be the reason for the dark evil of his personality. I'm not a judging person, however history is not nor was it kind to anyone no matter who they were or status. I've researched and still am researching this place and have found no supporting facts to verify that this individual Was as mean as implied. However I do not know I was not there.

There are descendants and ancestors in England, Ireland, Scotland, Jamaica and the USA.

My pleasure
