Ireland’s most haunted home will host the first couple to spend a night there in over 20 years later today.
Sheryl Potts & Shane Delahunty from Mullinavat, Co. Kilkenny, will ascend the master staircase to spend tonight in the Devil’s Bedroom, located on the first floor of Loftus Hall.
The room is situated directly above the infamous Tapestry Room; considered to be the epicentre of the haunted Hall’s paranormal activity.
According to Loftus Hall marketing manager, Anne Power, the (un)lucky couple were chosen for their ability to go 'beyond' the norm.
"There was something special about Cheryl and Shane. The application process included a comprehensive list of questions - and it was this couple's answers that were that little bit above the competition."
All poised to peak into Cheryl & Shane’s experiences tonight will be wishing them anything but a good night’s sleep, as their adventures will be live-streamed from Loftus Hall’s website.
Those eager to watch the harrowing experience will need to to register here... if you dare.
So what can viewers expect? "Well, there's going to be interviews with the couple, an expert panel who'll be accessing goings-on throughout the night and, of course, a lot of messing around with couple's heads", said Anne.
"I know that the owner, Aidan, will do everything in his power to creep them out. Who knows? Maybe even the spirits will give him a helping hand."
Despite their fearlessness from the outset, Anne admits that cracks are starting to show.
"They came along this morning in a great mood. We gave the guys a tour and showed them the Gothic Horror movie - that's when Shane got a little nervy.
"Honestly, I feel the couple will do everything in their power to stay the night, but if somebody was to cave in, it could be Shane - let's see what the paranormal panel say tonight."
