- There is a haunted house named Annsgrove House which was a one time inhabited by three ghosts. At night the room in which they lived in would be shaking. The priest was sent for and he read over them for three hours and they spit in the priests face.
Then he banished one of them and led him to Lake Sheelin. He led the other to a wood in Ballinscarry and the other to a pool in Ballinscarry. The priest was swetting so hard that it took three towels to dry him.
In a few days after the priest died. The room that the ghosts lived in was never opened since. I know the house and it is closed still.
