Ghost hunters record 'spirit crying for help' in 12th-century castle in chilling audio – The Mirror US
Paranormal investigators in Ireland claim to have captured the voice of a tormented spirit pleading for help.
According to the group, Paranormal Awakenings Ireland, a recording made at the 12th-century Lackeen Castle in Co Tipperary picked up a ghostly voice saying "Help me." PJ Kavanagh, 63, who made the recording with teammate Philip Costello, believes it's the first-ever audio evidence of a ghost in Ireland.
The recording, made on May 26, 2023, using a camcorder's night-vision mode, has garnered significant attention, with an American paranormal society, including skeptics, dedicating a podcast to the rare find. Lackeen Castle, also known as O'Kennedy Castle, has a rich history, dating back to the 16th century when it was rebuilt.

It was once owned by Irish chieftain Brian Ua Cinneide Fionn, who died in 1588. The castle is also famous for being the discovery site of the Stowe Missal, a 9th-century religious manuscript that may have been written on the premises.
PJ, a former roofer, told the Mirror.: "During restoration work at the castle in the 18th century, John O'Kennedy is credited with finding the Stowe Missal hidden in the walls.
"It is believed the Mass book was in use at Lorrha during the 11th century and later discovered inside a bejewelled metal box. We went there because of its amazing history."

"I was there before, around five years ago and captured a dark shadow in a photo. I wanted to go back to explore some more. I had unfinished business and was compelled to go back.
"I recorded a video of a spirit saying, 'Help me'. I only saw it on playback. It is ground-breaking."
"We also recorded another spirit at the top of a staircase in the castle. We don't know what it is exactly, but it looks like someone bending over and kneeling down."
"It looked straight at us. It was chilling. A podcast by the World Paranormal Research Society is going to air the recording of the spirit."
