Ghost walk 3.0 and a cow

This cathedral was built by vikings, but then being a viking was illegal and it became a Protestant (Church of Ireland) Church. A bunch of stuff, but the fun story I remember naturally involves witchcraft.

The Church needed fundraising so what do you do to raise money in Ireland? Open a bar. So the Church opened two bars in the basement. What does a bar give you? Drunk men. What do drunk men like? Sex. Darkey Kelly being an enterprising young lady, opened a very successful brothel just down the street, except brothels were illegal. How do you get the law to put up a blind eye? You sleep with law enforcement. Darkey started seeing the sheriff, Luttrell. However, what happens when you have whilst sex in the 1700s with no contraception? Darkey got pregnant and Luttrell was married, so to get rid of her, he accused her of witch craft. Boom, she's a witch, and either burned at the stake or drowned. But then! When they checked the brothel, they found the bodies of 5 men in the basement so Darkey is reasonably alleged to also be a serial killer, and perhaps Ireland's first female serial killer!!

Also, a cow.Weiterlesen
