Any 800-year-old castle with a bloody history is bound to have at least one ghost wandering around. Dublin's Malahide Castle is . In fact, Malahide is famous for no fewer than five resident ghosts. The spectral Lord Galtrim—who died violently on his wedding day in the 15th century, after which his bride married his biggest rival—is said to wander the castle grounds at night, groaning from the pain of heartbreak and spear wounds alike. The beautiful, anonymous White Lady in a large painting in the main hall has been reported to leave her painting to walk the corridors at night. Another lady, Maud Plunkett, roams the same corridors, forever chasing her husband's unseen ghost. A ruthless lord called Miles Corbet is sometimes seen as an imposing armored soldier who suddenly breaks into pieces.
The most interesting of the castle's ghosts is Puck, a who was a caretaker of the castle during the rule of Henry VIII. There are at least two variations of his legend: Some say his lover was taken away and he was found stabbed through the heart, while others claim he hanged himself for seemingly no reason at all. In both versions of the story, Puck vowed to haunt and protect the castle after his death. Many are certain that he kept his promise, as the small caretaker has made numerous appearances throughout the years. His most regular haunt appears to be Puck's Staircase, the stairway to the turret where he used to live. It is said he also appears in many photos taken by the tourists. Even exterior shots sometimes show his impish features in the ivy of the castle's walls.
