  2. There is supposed to be a ghost in Ards House. It is up in one of the top rooms. The door is always kept locked. Sometimes the ghost can be seen at the window screaming and waving its arms. It is said that the ghost breaks out once in every three years and kills seven cows.
    Sometimes it can be heard talking to it self and other times chattering like a monkey and other times you cannot hear it at all.
