Offering a look into the ghostly goings on via their website, the team at Charleville House wrote: 'The castle is reputed to be haunted by a little girl named Harriet, youngest daughter of the third Earl of Charleville, who died tragically in the main staircase of the building at the age of 8 in April 1861. 'Her presence in the castle has been reported many times by many different people… Singing in the middle of the night, laughing, screams, etc…Some people think they have caught her on their cameras as they can see shadows or mists on the pictures they took within the castle…' Nestled in the heart of County Offaly, the 18th-century castle has long had a reputation for being one of Ireland's most haunted spots.

'She fell just behind where we are standing, and broke her neck and her back – unfortunately, it's very tragic.

'Wednesday' promises 'bigger and better' Addams family
Wednesday will be released in two four-episode instalments. Photo: File Hit Netflix series Wednesday expands the Addams Family world as it returns to screens nearly three years after the show launched in November 2022. Season Two of the dark fantasy series premiered at London's Westminster on Wednesday, with its cast and creators walking a purple carpet outside Central Hall and Queen Elizabeth II Centre. Wednesday Season Two will be released in two four-episode instalments, with Part One dropping August 6 and Part Two out on September 3. The new season sees Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, returning to Nevermore Academy as a celebrated hero, much to her dismay. The tetchy teen puts her detective hat back on to solve new supernatural mysteries, while dealing with glitches in her psychic powers. Wednesday also faces another nuisance – family. Her little brother Pugsley, played by Isaac Ordonez, starts his studies at Nevermore and their parents are a frequent presence on campus. "She's kind of knocked off her feet this season. So it's a lot of pressure," said Ortega. The series' creators and showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar said Wednesday returns "bigger and better". "There's more of the Addams Family this season," said Gough. "We learn more about the characters you got to meet in Season One and they have their own storylines." The sophomore season also introduces new characters, including Steve Buscemi's Nevermore principal Barry Dort and the Addams family matriarch Grandmama Hester Frump, played by Joanna Lumley. Pop star Lady Gaga makes a guest star appearance as a teacher in Part 2. Mother-daughter dynamics are at the heart of the new season, said Millar. "It's about mothers and daughters, it's three generations of Addams women together. It's also about learning to not be in control of everything, for Wednesday. And it's really always about female friendship and female sisterhood," he said. Ortega, 22, also executive produced the new season. Rather than control, it gave her "freedom" she said. "She's kind of our cast spokesperson. Any time I felt like something needed to be said or if I had any ideas, she was always like, 'come to me and we'll make it work'. She just looks out for us," Emma Myers, who plays Wednesday's roommate Enid Sinclair, said. Filmmaker Tim Burton also returns as one of the directors and executive producers.
