    In Lisnanagh there is an old house which although it was very well built is never used because it is said that it is haunted.
    In 1800 it was built and inhabited and it is said that the people who inhabited it changed all their furniture on a Saturday which is the unlucky day in the week to do it.
    The first night they slept in it it is said that they heard terrible noise all over the house and it seemed that all the tables and chairs in the house were being thrown about but when they got up the next morning everything was just as they left it and they thought they must have been dreaming.
