Black Cat of Killakee House

Long before its ivy-choked ruins whispered secrets through the South Dublin woods, Killakee House stood as a symbol of grandeur—and something far darker. Built in 1765 and shadowed by the infamous Hellfire Club, the estate bore silent witness to centuries of whispered rites and forbidden rituals. But it was not until the O’Briens' hopeful renovation in 1968 that the true horror stirred—a spectral black cat, massive and malevolent, its amber eyes smoldering with a hellish glow. What began as creaking doors and cold drafts soon unravelled into a legacy of apparitions, fear, and death. The curse had only slumbered. Now, it had awoken.
