Knigh Castle: A Christmas Haunting



Knigh Castle near Puckane in North Tipp.
There is a sad bit of folklore attached to it to featuring Christmas Eve.
"It is said that when the Normans were routed out of the castle, a poor man and his son went to live in it. This son took sick. One morning he was very ill, but still his father went out to work. When he returned at night his son was dead. The man was so heart-broken after him that he laid down by his side and died. This was on Christmas eve. If a person went up to the castle on a Xmas eve you would see a man and a boy lying on the ground floor. The man is seeing crying and his son is by his side dead."
