Duckett's Grove Carlow Ireland (2)

Duckett’s Grove is an 18th century manor house in County Carlow, Ireland. It was destroyed by a fire in 1933. The outside of the mansion still stands, looking medieval and romantic. But, there’s a curse on the manor house which kept the Duckett Family in its grip for years…Legend says, William Duckett had a very young mistress. This young girl was killed in a riding accident on the estate. Her grief-stricken mother cursed the family and the manor house by calling upon a Banshee. Such a curse is referred to as a Piseóg; a curse to bring about death, despair and financial ruin. Legend says a woman once heard the cry of the Banshee and immediately died on the estate’s grounds. A gardener also heard the cry and found his mother dead the next morning. But the Banshee is not the only entity that resides at Duckett’s Grove. William Duckett’s ghost has been seen riding his estate on horseback before vanishing into thin air.
