Loftus Hall, County Wexford

Legend has it that on the site of the original Loftus Hall (which was demolished in 1871 and this house was built in it's place) the Devil appeared in the guise of a young gentleman. The owner's daughter Anne Tottenham fell for him and only discovered his true identity when she discovered, during a card game, that he had a cloven foot! The house had to be exorcised. The ghost of Anne is said to still haunt the present house which has now been boarded up and is out of bounds to sightseers. This was taken on the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 on a Canon 20D.
