Loftus Hall is a must see if you are visiting the Hook Head Peninsula area which is in itself a beautiful place. Very historic and the tours are very enjoyable and informative especially if you have an interest in haunted Ireland. The day tours are an all family event while the night tours are adults only and with good reason. However, if you really want the full paranormal experience the "Lockdowns" are for you. They take place from approx 8.30pm - 03.00am and are conducted by professional paranormal investigators and begin with a tour of the house and it's background which is given by the owner himself - a very friendly and likeable guy who makes you very welcome while the house itself gives you goose bumps. During the Lockdown you get to spend time in rooms and areas that are not accessible on the other tours, and full participation is encouraged by the P. I. Team. It is, in essence, a legitimate paranormal investigation which includes all the professional paranormal equipment and techniques and definitely not for the faint hearted! However, it is an unique experience in an amazing historic and strangely beautiful House and grounds and I would highly recommend the Lockdowns to anyone with a penchant for the paranormal and the regular tours to those who prefer the lights on!
