    Share Share Post
    About thirty years ago there was a family living At Killowen in Castletown, Arklow. One of the family died. He had expressed a wish to be buried in Castletown. A short time after the burial the funeral was seen going up and down by the gate of the graveyard at Castletown. Everyone was very frightened and would not go near the place at night. Even at present ghosts are supposed to be seen between Killowen crossroads and the gate of the house where the man used to live.
