In the second episode of this series on the hauntings at Ireland’s most haunted castle, known as Leap, two more tales from its many mysteries emerge. When an investigator named Michael visits Leap Castle, drawn to its haunted history, he is confronted by the spirits of two small children, young girls, Emily and Charlotte.  Their ghostly presence is marked by the sound of footsteps—Charlotte’s with a distinctive limp—echoing through the corridors and the Bloody Chapel. What is their story? Are they real victims of the violent history of Leap Castle, or a malevolent manifestation? Then, in the early 1900s, “secret” occult author Mildred Darby’s encounter with a mysterious, foreboding room unearths new horror. As she explores the oppressive shadows and unsettling noises of the chamber, Mildred senses a dark history that seeps into her very bones, forever altering her life within the castle’s ancient walls, and instilling a curiosity that turns dangerous.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
