  1. The Haunted Castle

    Share Share Post
    One night there was a dance in a house near Kiltarton. Two boys left one house to go to another dance about a mile away. When they came to the castle in Castletown they were driven back twice by some unseen force and could not pass the castle. The third time they turned their caps, and they passed. They heard lovely music and singing inside in the castle, and when they reached the house, they were very frightened, and they came home and went to bed.
