  1. The Ghost Story of Ballyellen

    Share Share Post
    Jim Neill a man living in Ballyellen went out to hunt one very bright moonlight night. He came to Ballyellen Lawn, where stood an old house long ago. He saw the whole place lit up. Two men about three times as big as himself walked across him. His hound and terrier started to attack him. He beat them off with his stick and went to a nearby farmer's house and fell in a dead faint on the doorstep. Since then no one goes near that house. Ghosts were seen in it many times.
