After the terrible exorcism at the hall, Thomas Broaders continued as a priest in the locality. Indeed, he became the parish priest of the Hook and Ramsgrange areas and continued in that role for the next 50 years. He was much loved and well respected, and when he died in 1773, he was laid to rest in Horetown Cemetery, where his epitaph reads:

“Here lies the body of Thomas Broaders,

Who did good and prayed for all

And banished the Devil from Loftus Hall”

In 2008, with the Tottenham family now living in Canada, Loftus Hall was sold. Although there has been much curiosity and speculation, the identity of the buyer has never been revealed. While it is in severe need of refurbishment, its new owner has never made any attempt to make repairs. The production of a new film named Loftus Hall starring Samantha Mumba (of The Time Machine fame) has, however, been announced, although no release date has been specified for it. This will be a modern horror film based on the events at the hall.

And, of course, there are those who say that Thomas Broaders exorcism wasn’t completely successful, and that some residue of the diabolical visitation still lingers in the house. Voices, they say, are still heard along the corridors, and strange shadows come and go among the empty rooms. As I stood on the road and looked out toward the grim pile across the desolate landscape, I wondered if something was looking back at me from beyond the distant, dark windows of the place, and although the evening was quite warm, I couldn’t suppress a shudder.

Today visitors can take a tour of the house’s gardens and ground floor, including the infamous card room. Knowing its history, might you be interested?
