Pregnant Woman's Tragic Return

The Druid's Altar, Glandore, Ireland Apparition Pre-Victorian

The Druid's Altar in Glandore is home to a heartbreaking ghost story. This stone circle, steeped in history and tragedy, is said to be haunted by the spirit of a pregnant woman who took her own life just weeks before giving birth. Her unhealthy fascination with the stones is believed to have drawn her back to this sacred site. Locals whisper about the woman's restless presence, forever trapped between worlds.

Dating back to the druidic era, The Druid's Altar has a dark history of human sacrifice. In 1935, a psychic visiting the site reported a chilling scene: a priest clad in blue and saffron robes poised to sacrifice another human at the altar. The psychic also witnessed frenzied dancing and violence, hinting at the brutal practices of the ancient druids. This tragic history, coupled with the pregnant woman's untimely death, has created a hotbed of paranormal activity.

The encounter was so traumatic that all mirrors were banned from the king's presence to prevent him from discovering the truth. For seven long years, the king lived with this secret until he finally uncovered the truth and set out to confront the beast.
