- Many different stories are told about ghosts. Old people believed more in these stories long ago than they do nowadays.
At lonely parts along the country roads people will tell you there were ghosts there long ago.
I know of a house between Drogheda and Duleek and for many years no-one has lived in it as they say there is a ghost in it. The family who resided there last had to leave, as every night when they retired to bed they used to hear loud knocking at the walls.
When the husband got up to look around for the cause no-one could be seen. This would not be a very pleasant place to reside in.
