History of Redwood Castle
Redwood Castle was originally constructed around 1210 by an Anglo-Norman family by the name of De Cougan. Redwood's strategic position was of the utmost importance owing to its close proximity to the River Shannon. The Anglo-Normans made several attempts to cross the Shannon and administer the west of Ireland, but none were successful enough to allow the invaders to settle on a permanent basis. As a result, the Anglo-Normans faced the constant danger of being attacked themselves from across the Shannon, leading to a long line of castles and tower houses being constructed along its eastern bank. The original structure here at Redwood was only two storeys tall, and there were no entrances or exits here on the ground floor for security reasons. The original doorway would have been on the second floor, accessible by a retractable ladder. The main entrance you see today dates from the mid-1300s. For many years ivy covered all of the castle except this doorway, and so a lot of tourist material still mistakenly dates the entire castle from this period
Redwood Castle, we consider to be a paranormal hotspot with this being our second visit to it, we decided to cover all areas with static cameras which can be very time-consuming this experiment paid off considering the amount of activity we captured on camera .
The considerable number of cameras we set up gave us the ability to capture the same paranormal event ranging anywhere from 2 to 4 different camera perspectives which is rare in the field of paranormal.
The activity within Redwood Castle has fired up more questions than has answered what is really at play here mischievous spirits that are very territorial to certain areas within the castle the data we collected proves this ranging from very clear voice phenomena captured in two areas top middle section of castle manipulation one particular door over twenty minute period anomaly or spiritual energy that passes right through John Brophy .
This is just a small amount of what we captured ranging from over 70 hours of footage we gathered on that night the hardest part of any investigation, not the investigation sourcing the footage which is very time-consuming .
The goals of both Carlow Paranormal Researchers Ireland & Team Paranormal Xplor are to provide real paranormal evidence with coming posts we hope to provide that.
