Lord Kildarby and his army haunted a castle moved to New York.
History[]
According to Tobin's Spirit Guide, sometime in the 15th century, Lord Kildarby and all his men were killed when an invading army stated a surprise attack. But the invaders were never able to stay a single night in the castle. The spirits kept flinging the invaders over the parapet. After the invaders left the castle and the family Kildarby returned to the castle, there have been occasional spirit manifestations, usually only the sound of pipes and drums.[2] The amount of spirits are in excess of 800. Around 851 total.[3][4]
Less than 400 years later, [5] Warner Applegate III purchased Castle Kildarby from Lord Liam Kildarby, the current owner.[6] The next year, Applegate finished bringing the castle to Central Park stone by stone for a philanthropic venture in coordination with the City and County of New York City.[7][8] During the gala summer festival, Lord Kildarby and his army manifested and disrupted Mayor Lenny Clotch's speech.
The Ghostbusters were soon hired by the Mayor to get rid of the ghosts, Lord Kildarby agreed to a wager and promised to leave if the Ghostbusters if they could defeat his wee birdy.[9] The Ghostbusters succeeded in trapping and containing Kildarby's bird, but the ghosts had nowhere else to go. In order to make things fair, the ghosts agreed to not bother the people who visit Castle Kildarby during the day. They also agreed not to play the pipes before sundown, more or less.
Personality[]
Lord Kildarby appears to be very reasonable, as he agreed to reason with the Ghostbusters. He also doesn't fear them as he claims to not be afraid when Peter aims a Particle Thrower at him.
