Spirits of Halloween in Ireland with Adrian Scott/David Moody

Spirits of Halloween in Ireland with Adrian Scott and David Moody is a 10-day / 9-night paranormal investigation tour running October 26 – November 4, 2027, led by Canadian paranormal investigator Adrian Scott of Wolfpack Paranormal and David Moody of Kings and Queens Paranormal — together operating under the Wolf Royalty Paranormal banner — in partnership with Secret Ireland Tours LLC. This is one of the most investigation-focused tours in the Secret Ireland Tours lineup, with at least eight paranormal investigations built into the itinerary, ranging from short daytime visits to full overnight sessions. The group stays in 4-star accommodation throughout, including two nights at a secret undisclosed haunted location where guests have exclusive use of the entire property and can investigate through the night, and a final night at Fitzpatrick's Castle in Killiney, South Dublin.

The investigation highlights are exceptional in scope. Guests conduct overnight investigations at Charleville Castle — Ireland's finest example of Gothic Revival architecture, set in ancient druid oak woods — and at the secret location kept deliberately unnamed to preserve the surprise. Key daytime visits include Leap Castle in County Offaly, Ireland's most haunted castle and home to the infamous Elemental; Wicklow Jail, with its long catalog of reported apparitions; Spike Island in Cork Harbour, a former Victorian convict depot holding over 2,300 prisoners at its peak; Charles Fort in Kinsale; Duckett's Grove in County Carlow; and the Rock of Cashel. The tour also weaves in Galway's Macnas Halloween parade, a visit to Pat Noone's Fairy Farm, the Aillwee Caves in the Burren, the Drombeg Stone Circle, Glendalough, and the Cobh Titanic Museum.

Included in the price are airport transfers, 9 hearty Irish breakfasts, a welcome lunch on Day 1, all venue entry fees on the itinerary, a comfortable motor coach with expert driver, a Secret Ireland Tours guide, both Adrian Scott and David Moody for the full tour, at least 8 paranormal investigations, two hours at the Fairy Farm, snacks and soft drinks on the bus, and all accommodation and transport taxes. Most lunches and all evening meals are not covered, nor are international flights, travel insurance, laundry, and tips. Full balance is due 40 days before departure, and interest-free installment plans are available on request.

Day 1 — Malahide Castle, Christ Church Cathedral & Temple Bar

Guests are collected from the airport and head to Malahide Castle, home to the mischievous ghost of court jester Puck, a Lady in White, and centuries of reported paranormal activity. The group then visits Christ Church Cathedral and its vast 12th-century crypt before a welcome group lunch at The Merchant pub near Temple Bar. The afternoon is free to explore Temple Bar and visit the Brazenhead — one of Dublin's most haunted pubs.

Day 2 — Surprise Location, Wicklow Jail & Glendalough

The day includes a visit to a surprise location before heading to Wicklow Jail, a historic prison with an extraordinary catalog of reported apparitions — shadowy figures, green mists, phantom children, and a sense of dread on the upper decks. The group then visits the 6th-century monastic site of Glendalough in County Wicklow before an evening investigation of the jail.

Day 3 — Charleville Castle (Overnight Investigation)

The tour travels to Charleville Castle in County Offaly — Ireland's finest Gothic Revival castle, built in 1798 and set in ancient druid oak woods with a long history of paranormal activity. The group arrives in time to explore before a full overnight investigation of the castle's many reported spirits. Adrian Scott and David Moody lead the investigation.

Day 4 — Aillwee Caves, Kinvara Castle & Galway Halloween Parade

Departing Charleville, the group heads west to the Aillwee Caves in the Burren — a spectacular 45-minute guided underground journey past frozen waterfalls and ancient bear bones. A stop at Kinvara Castle follows before the evening brings the spectacular Macnas Halloween Parade in Galway — the Cnámha La Loba (Bones of the Wolves) performance, an extraordinary theatrical event inspired by ancient legend.

Day 5 — Pat Noone's Fairy Farm & Galway City

A morning visit to Pat Noone's Fairy Farm near Galway for two hours exploring the fairy field, portal hawthorn trees, standing stones, and ancient cairn, with Pat's firsthand stories of Ireland's hidden folk tradition. The afternoon is free for independent exploration of Galway City — its cobbled streets, traditional music pubs, and Atlantic waterfront.

Day 6 — Leap Castle & Secret Overnight Location

The group visits Leap Castle in County Offaly — home to the terrifying Elemental entity, the Bloody Chapel, and the spirits of two young girls, Emily and Charlotte, said to still play in the halls. Castle owner Sean Ryan shares his stories and experiences. The tour then travels to the secret undisclosed haunted location where the group has exclusive use for two nights and can investigate through the night.

Day 7 — Cobh Titanic Museum & Spike Island Investigation

A moving visit to the Cobh Titanic Museum in the original White Star Line building, retracing the steps of the last 123 passengers to board the Titanic. The afternoon brings a ferry crossing to Spike Island in Cork Harbour — a 1,300-year-old site that served as a monastery, fortress, and the world's largest Victorian convict depot, with a compelling record of paranormal reports including phantom gunshots and shadowy figures.

Day 8 — Charles Fort, Drombeg Stone Circle & Cork Ghost Tour

The group visits the impressive star-shaped Charles Fort in Kinsale, completed in 1682 and connected to some of Ireland's most significant military events. The afternoon takes in the Drombeg Stone Circle in West Cork — an ancient axial stone circle aligned with the midwinter solstice sunset. The evening brings a surprise fun event in Cork City arranged by the organizers.

Day 9 — Rock of Cashel, Duckett's Grove & Fitzpatrick's Castle

A final day of dramatic historic sites begins at the Rock of Cashel in County Tipperary — one of Ireland's most spectacular medieval complexes, containing Ireland's only surviving Romanesque frescoes. The group then visits the haunted ruins of Duckett's Grove in County Carlow, known for reports of ghostly family apparitions, phantom horses and carriages, and a demonic dog with blazing red eyes. The tour closes with arrival at Fitzpatrick's Castle in Killiney for the farewell night.
