Leap Castle

Eight centuries of violence created something at Leap Castle that defies explanation. Built on druid sacrifice grounds, the castle’s Bloody Chapel witnessed fratricide at the altar, while its oubliette held three cartloads of bones. Most terrifying is the Elemental—a hunched, rotting creature that appears to visitors, its malevolence predating even the O’Carroll clan’s murderous reign.

The Horror

The O’Carrolls filled Leap Castle with death: clan massacres, family betrayals, prisoners left to die on spikes. When renovations revealed the oubliette’s contents—centuries of bones including a watch from the 1840s—investigators realized the horror had continued far longer than anyone knew.

The Elemental was first documented by Mildred Darby in the early 1900s: “thin, gaunt and shadowy… its face was human, or to be more accurate, inhuman… the eyes were like two black holes.”

Modern investigators report overwhelming dread, equipment failure, and the unmistakable smell of decay preceding its appearances.

Something older than Christianity watches from Leap Castle. The O’Carrolls built their fortress on sacred, bloody ground and filled it with more death. Now the Elemental waits for those foolish enough to enter its domain.
