Ghost Hunting at Ballygally Castle in Northern Ireland
Climb the creaking, step-worn turret of Ballygally Castle to the resident ghost room and see if you can’t feel the embittered spirit of Lady Isobel Shaw brushing by. Is it cold in here? Really, really cold? There’s a 17th-century decrepitude about the tiny space that feels uncomfortable and claustrophobic. Lady Shaw was locked in this room by her husband and allegedly left to starve to death. Before you scramble back down the stairs to the warmth of the hotel, pay the former inhabitant respect by peering out the window from which she hurled herself (or her husband hurled her, depending on the account). And remind yourself: "There's no such thing as ghosts.”
