    Willowbrook Castle, Sligo
    I heard a story told about a ghost to be seen in Willowbrook Castle. It is situated in Dunally. The old people say it is quite true that a lovely young lady was murdered there and here ghost is still seen roaming about the place all in white. The people say that the old Castle in its day was beautiful.
    There were fifty two windows, a window for each week in the year. There are new houses built in its place lately. Ormsbys were living there at that time
