- Duleek Ghost Stories
There are many ghost stories told about Duleek. There is a ghost at Weldon’s old house on the Abbey Road and it is told that there was a priest riding by, and the horse dies and he fell to the ground, and when the priest fell to the ground unconscious the priest dies in an hour. The marks of the horse’s hoofs are marked on the wall and a cross and a stone with blood stains on it.
There is a bush growing beside this mark, and a man cut this bush, and when he was cutting it he cut the fingers off himself, and he dies not long after. His name was Thomas Connor. Every night there is a ghost there ever since. That bush is to be seen there, and whoever cuts that bush would not live long after it.
