  • The Hellfire Club: Founded by the first Grand Master of the Irish Freemasons, Richard Parsons, in 1735, this hunting lodge on Montpelier Hill in Dublin was the site of satanic practices and black magic.
    Orgies, murders, feasts where black cats were roasted over open fires – you name it, this place has seen it all. The story goes that even the devil himself mingled here with his devotees. And, apparently, still shows up occasionally.
