Duckett’s Grove Castle was featured in a March 2011 episode of the SyFy TV show, Destination: Truth.
The purpose of that show was to find evidence of Banshees. I never recommend looking for Banshees, but Duckett’s Grove Castle and several local sites are well worth investigating… for ghosts.

Banshees… should ghost hunters look for them? In my opinion, the answer is no, but not for the reasons you might expect.
A March 2011 episode of Destination: Truth focused on a Banshee, or a “hotbed” of Banshees at Duckett’s Grove Castle in County Carlow, Ireland.
Looking for [...]
Banshees… what do they really look like?
That’s the subject of a video at SyFy’s Destination: Truth website, related to their 2011 St. Patrick’s Day show from Ireland.
In that live show broadcast from the castle, they investigated the castle at Duckett’s Grove in County Carlow, Ireland.

Banshees are unique in paranormal research.
When someone mentions a ghost, most of us think of cemeteries, haunted houses, and transparent figures draped in sheets.
Likewise, the word “faerie” is usually linked with cute little figures with wings, and merry mischief.
However, mention a Banshee, and people squirm.
The Banshee, like a ghost, can represent [...]
Update: Thank you for a wonderful evening!
Special thanks to those who drove considerable distances — and braved snowy & slushy roads — to make this one of the library’s most popular evenings, ever.
(And thanks to the library staff for finding enough chairs for everyone!)
Also, here are some additional links I mentioned during [...]
Earlier this week, a writer asked me why banishing techniques (sea salt, sage smudges, etc.) are use to get rid of ghosts.
Here’s my edited reply to her:
Of course, people don’t actually “get rid of” ghosts. The ghosts (or things that seem like a haunting) just stop bothering [...]
Apparently, a lot of aspiring ghost hunters and ghost hunting teams still want to be on reality TV shows, especially ghost-related reality shows.
I’ve been offered more shows than I can count, and I’ve turned them all down.
I don’t want to be a TV star. Even as a little kid, I never once said, [...]
Lately, many people have asked me about hauntings that — to me, anyway — sound like they’re dealing with residual energy.
So, I’ve recorded a mini-podcast with basic information: Ghosts – Residual Energy Solutions (MP3)
Remember: Many ghost hunters believe that emotionally charged events [...]
We’re ready to begin surveying EVP results.
(Note: This initial study of EVP results concluded in August 2011. Click here for what we learned.)
If you have any EVP recordings, even if the words aren’t clear, you may be able to help us with this first survey.

It’s another year for more research, more discoveries and more adventures! Here are my plans for 2011:
More research, more books
This year, I want to experiment with new research concepts. One of them is the EVP study I’ve already mentioned.
Another is more extensive mapping and analysis [...]
