  1. Haunted Places

    Share Share Post
    It is said that there is a dog often seen coming out of the cave in Doon with fire coming out of his eyes. Sheep went into the cave and they never came out. In a house in Castledaly there are spirits seen. Every night when the people of the house go to bed the delph all fall over the floor and the doors open and close again. When the people awake in the morning everything is the same as the people left them.
