Charleville Castle, Ireland. Esoteric Journey

13 Days of Halloween: Day 11 Charleville Castle

Welcome back to Mysterious Adventures Tours’ 13 Days of Halloween! Today is a special day, marking the 11th day in our 13-day series. You see, in numerology, 11 is considered a master number, meaning that you do not add 1+1 but leave it whole. The number 11 is considered a gateway or a portal, and today’s article brings you to a location that has brought many of our adventurers closer to the other side than they have been. Welcome to Charleville Castle a premier location to visit on an esoteric journey! 

An Esoteric Journey Awaits!

In the heart of Ireland’s Midlands, Charleville Castle stands as a haunting relic of Gothic vision and whispered secrets. Rising in 1798 upon the ruins of an ancient manor, it was crafted over 14 years, each stone laid to the design of Charles William Bury, the Earl of Charleville, and his muse, Lady Catherine Maria Bury. Lady Catherine’s artistic hand wove mystique into the grand staircases, sprawling chambers, and shadowed passageways. Masonic symbols are etched into the architecture, hinting at hidden meanings and age-old rituals. Here, echoes of old voices linger in dimly lit halls, and the wind carries stories of an era when ambition, mystery, and whispered secrets defined this place. Charleville is no ordinary castle; it is where every stone seems to carry memories, waiting for those brave enough to listen

Messages from Beyond

I remember my time here, I was lucky enough to visit this gorgeous gothic masterpiece. The staircase greets you at the entrance. This would be a unique location to experiment with a brand new “tool” that  I had added to my research kit-Scrabble tiles. It would be another beautiful wood staircase that would draw me to it. The energy here was strong, so I knelt, grabbed out my tiles, and laid what few fell out onto the velvet mat that  I had brought along to lay them upon. 

Our enchanting host at Charleville Samantha Kelly was with us as we put the tiles together to form what words were to be revealed. These words would be “bonnet” “Harriet” and “Pony” It was then that we learned of the tragic tale of Harriet, a young girl who had lost her life by falling over the railing from high above near the top of the staircase.  Samantha would also share that there was a photo of Harriet that was not on display that had her dressed in a bonnet, so there was no doubt in her mind that Harriet was doing her best to let us all know, she was still there. A true gift on this esoteric journey.

The Angry Earls

At the bottom of these stairs, would not be the only location that we would make contact with those who once called this place home. For it was in one of the towers that held the library that we would make contact with some very angry earls.  As we began to arrange the tiles, so that we could read their messages it became clear that not only did these men have a high distaste for women, but they did not want any of us there at all. Perhaps they were trying to hide the secrets of the castle’s construction and or purpose.

This would add great intrigue for me, as our host of this tour Mike Ricksecker was doing experiments of his own. In both towers, he had his dowsing rods along with Samantha who had a pendulum. The pendulum would spin clockwise in one tower and counterclockwise in the other. I highly recommend picking up Mike Ricksecker’s new book to learn more “Portals to the  Stars”. Mysterious Adventures Tours even has an upcoming trip to Germany where you can meet Mike himself and who knows,  perhaps you may just stumble across a portal during your esoteric journey in the black forest.

A Final Reflection on Charleville Castle

As you leave Charleville Castle, it’s impossible not to feel a lingering sense of reverence and wonder. With its shadowed halls and whispered stories, the castle leaves an impression that sits deep within the mind. For those on a true esoteric journey, Charleville Castle is more than just a haunted location—it is a place where history, mystery, and the supernatural intersect. Here, you are reminded that some doors, once opened, are not easily closed. The spirits within the walls, the Masonic symbols etched into stone, and the energies that flow through each room seem to reach out, inviting you back, promising that even more secrets lie just beyond sight.

Into the Darkness: A Glimpse of Day 12

As we edge closer to the final days of our 13 Days of Halloween, prepare yourself for a journey far from Ireland’s misty, ancient lands. Tomorrow, we transport you to the American South, to a location steeped in myth, mystery, and dark allure—Louisiana’s infamous Myrtles Plantation. Known as one of the most haunted homes in the U.S., this mansion is said to be haunted by more than a dozen restless souls, each with their own story woven into the house’s history. Legends of poisoned servants, hidden passages, and voodoo curses await.

So, take a deep breath, gather your courage, and step with us into the shadows of Louisiana. Day 12 promises to bring you on an esoteric journey where you will come face-to-face with the secrets that reside in one of the American South’s most unsettling landmarks. Are you ready to meet the ghosts of the Myrtles Plantation? We’ll see you there… if you dare.
