- Ghosts
There is a ghost in the Soldiers Barracks. This ghost was seen many times by the people of Belturbet. It always stays in the one room and any person that goes into this room after 12 o clock sees this ghost.
One night when the soldiers were in barracks there were two soldiers went to a room to emty their guns. When the second soldier was going to the door he stood inside the room and held the door open. the other soldiers was standing with his back to him just as he was about to look at the soldier at the door.
This soldier had his gun pointed at the other soldier and he shot him dead. Sinces that this door opens and closes again.
