Description
Minard Castle Ruins on Dingle peninsula, Ireland.
Stories-Dead Men Floating - Dun an Oir on the Dingle Peninsula
The Spanish meddled in Irish affairs for ages - supporting uprisings against England for instance. Or plundering the shore as pirates. In 1579 a Spanish force was sent to support local rebellions against Elizabeth I. And in the spirit of Irish history was betrayed by the allies. The Spanish dug in at Dun an Oir near Ballyferriter on the Dingle Peninsula, the English besieged them, the Irish stayed decidedly neutral. When the Spaniards ran out of hope and provisions, they surrendered. Only to be slaughtered and left without a burial on the shore.
Ever since then Spanish voices (and cries for mercy) have been heard by locals, skeletons occasionally are seen floating by and a smell of rotting flesh now and then comes with the breeze. source: http://goireland.about.com/od/specialinterestholidays/tp/irish_hauntings.htm
