SAW's Lost Souls are at well known Hellfire Club in the Dublin mountains, Ireland. This location has a long history with many stories reported over the years.

Nestled amidst the Dublin mountains lies Montpelier Hill, home to The Hellfire Club, a place of both natural beauty and historical intrigue. Known to Dubliners as a spot for leisurely walks and stunning views, this hill holds secrets dating back centuries, from ancient burial grounds to tales of satanic rituals.

Originally, Montpelier Hill was crowned with an ancient passage grave, until William 'Speaker' Conolly, a prominent figure in 18th century Ireland, erected a hunting lodge atop the site in 1725. Local lore suggests Conolly's actions angered vengeful spirits, leading to tales of hauntings and mysterious occurrences.

The lodge, later dubbed The Hellfire Club, became notorious as a meeting place for an exclusive society known for its debauchery and dark practices. Founded in 1735 by Richard Parsons, the club's gatherings were shrouded in secrecy and rumoured connections to black magic.

According to legend, club members engaged in amoral behaviour, including the sacrifice of animals and servants, and even setting fires to enhance the eerie atmosphere. The club's president, known as 'The King of Hell', purportedly dressed as Satan himself, complete with horns, wings, and hooves.

Among the chilling tales associated with The Hellfire Club is the story of a stranger with cloven hooves spotted at a card game, and another of a young farmer left speechless after witnessing the club's activities.

Today, the burnt out remains of The Hellfire Club stand as a testament to its dark past, drawing visitors intrigued by its history and panoramic views of Dublin city. Despite the passage of time, the site continues to evoke a sense of mystery and fascination.

Accessing Montpelier Hill is made convenient through a nearby car park, with recommended walking trails allowing visitors to explore the area's natural beauty while contemplating its sinister past. Whether during daylight hours or under the cloak of night, The Hellfire Club remains a captivating destination, steeped in history and intrigue.
