Duncannon Fort is a star shaped fortress on an important promontory in Waterford Harbour. It was built in 1588 in the expectation of an attack on the area by the Spanish Armada. The Fort is surrounded by a 30 ft high dry moat and has one of the oldest lighthouses of its kind in Ireland. All the major buildings in the Fort surround a parade ground. A walk around the outer ramparts afford spectacular views across the estuary to Co. Waterford and down to Hook Head. Located at a lower level than the moat is the croppy boy cell. After the 1798 rebellion, prisoners were detained here pending transfer to Geneva Barracks for trial and sentencing. An added attraction is the Maritime Museum which charts the maritime history of one of the most dangerous coastlines in Ireland, the Wexford coast.

Gail had a very unnerving experience while on a vidual in the croppy boy cell at around 1.30am, she suddenly became very nauseous and had to go out side to get some air. This is an unusual thing for Gail as she is always very level headed and this has never happened before.

Special thanks to Colum Whelan and the PIGs for bringing us along on this investigation.

While on the way down into the croppy boy cell the following morning I heard a male voice call out "hello" I searched the whole area thinking some one must already be inside and has heard me coming. There was no one there at all, and there is only one way in and out. And Im am 100% sure that i did hear this voice, and of course had no voice recorder with me at the time as i was only going to take some pictures.
