'Ghost' spotted at Rock of Cashel after group experiment leaves public spooked

These are the moments where a 'ghost' was spotted at one of Ireland's best-known landmarks.

Some members of the public made their way to the iconic Rock of Cashel in December and were left somewhat spooked upon their exit.

The Rock was the traditional seat of the King of Munster prior to the Norman invasion of Ireland.

It has some stunning round towers, high crosses and chapels and is definitely worth a visit if you're around Tipperary.

Though if these shots are anything to go by, maybe call some ghostbusters before you do.

A group known as Paranormal Supernatural Investigations Ireland travelled to the landmark last month to carry out an experiment.

A spokesman explained: "This is one of Ireland's (and probably the world's) most impressive and important ancient medieval sites.

"A lot of tragedies have taken place here, one being in 1647 when Earl Inchquin ransacked Cashel and the townsfolk fled to the Rock for protection, barricading themselves inside the Cathedral.

"Inchquin’s soldiers piled turf around the outside walls and set fire to the building, leaving the 800 people to burn to death."

But there was one specific area of the iconic Rock which caught the attention of the group.

The spokesman continued: "One building that caught our attention was the Vicars Choral Quarters, when one walks into this building, it is common for people to get physical reactions. Many get headaches, which is attributed to the residual energy left there during the centuries of habitation. Others feel tensed energies, probably from the multitudes of discussions that were held within these walls. Others feel tightness in the throat area."

They believe that while standing in the Quarters, they were able to spot a ghost looking at them in the doorway.
