    Here's the copy of a story I posted last year when I went out to the house.

    i went to look at an old mansion i used to visit as a child the other day. its been derelict over ten years now. we went in a side door the rest of the house is boarded up. got in through the servants quarters. so we were in one room for about twenty min debating whether to move further through the house. i was curious to to see the main staircase as it was amazing when the house was open. we made our way through the house and went to the stairs. as myself and another person in the group put our feet on the stairwell to go upstairs we heard what sounded like keys jingling. with that we left and went into the entrance hall. we stopped because we thought we were hearing things. then we heard a boom boom boom. we ran down to where we entered the house. the boom started coming closer to the point that it was just outside in the hallway. the last person coming out the door got stuck and the boom was right there behind her.

    at first i thought it was someone trying to frighten us but there was so much glass and debris on the ground we made a hell of a lot of noise making our way through and out of the house again. if someone was coming after us we would have heard them moving on the floor.
    the boom boom noise seemed to come from everywhere.

    i had never felt fear like it as we though we wouldnt get out in time. i think whatever it was was trying to get us out of the house.

    i have 2 theories as to why whatever it was frightened us out.
    the first was, the house is condemned and when we went to walk up the stairs we were warned that the house wasnt safe.
    the second i have researched and found out the lords in the house treated normal people and servants terribly, which made me think were in there part of the house and once we decided to go upstairs to the "rich" living quarters they didnt want us there and they frightened us back to the servants quartes of the house.

    the other weird thing is as i said before it abandoned over ten years. there are no signs of drinking graffitti fires or any kind of vandalism. there are horse saddles lying around the house (which im sure would be worth money) and silver candle holder still on the walls, old vintage suitcases and a few other bits none of which have been touched.

    not sure but it was a strange scary experience. from a place i used to have fond memories as a child the minute we stepped onto the grounds this time it was an eerie dead (no birds no noise except the trees moving) feeling

    It was bought a good few years back to be developed into a golf resort. It was previously owned by Hugh Dawnay and they ran a Polo school there. The upkeep was too costly as far as I know so they sold it. It's Nama that have it. Just looked up the listing there n it says sale agreed. It's up on sherry fitz
