JetBlack Cat

In 1968, the old dower house at Killackee was bought by the artist, Margaret O'Brien, and her husband, Nicholas. There was much that needed doing to the house, and they had a team of workmen engaged on renovation and redecoration. When the workmen began to complain of a strange presence in the house - a big, black cat - Mrs O'Brien dismissed the story. But one day she saw it herself, inside the house when all doors to the outside were locked - a huge, jet-black cat, about as big as a medium-sized dog. The beast vanished, but soon afterwards one of the workmen, Thomas McAssey, at work in a room by himself, felt the air suddenly grow cold. He looked around but saw nothing. From beyond the open door, however, came a sound of low and threatening growls. Then a dark figure appeared in the doorway. He spoke to it, but a growl was the only answer. Mrs O'Brien had the house exorcised, which appeared to get rid of the cat-spirit, though other manifestations were said to trouble the place still. Leeds Castle | Essex | New York | Tiree |
