- (continued from previous page)About twenty years ago a bird used give unearthly screeches in the night time. The bird was never seen.A short time before the castle was burnt strange noises were heard in a room there. Mrs. Darby wife of Jonathan Darby sent for a priest, Fr. Gleeson, and asked him to say Mass there. He informed her that he couldn't say Mass there, but later he sent his curate who banished the evil spirit. Then Mrs. Darby was able to open the door and she wasn't troubled by the noises any longer.
