Our guide on our Northern Ireland coach tour was a bit of a
joker. He’d already caught us all out with a small house with six kitchens; Mr
& Mrs. Kitchen and their four children; and had introduced us to his
fisherman friend who he sees every day out on the coast fishing who always
waves at him; which actually turned out to be a plastic dummy. But as we passed
through the village of Ballygally, we were told of the ghost of Elizabeth Shaw
who enjoys knocking on the doors of patrons at the Castle Hotel. Not the most exciting
of ghost stories; but then the hotel specialises in pricey wedding packages rather
than thrill-seeking historians; although you can visit the ghost’s tower. Other
sites say that Mrs. Shaw was locked away after the birth of her son; and fell
to her death; though how that can constitute to be a friendly ghost is beyond
me.
