Ballygally
Ballygally village boasts its very own resident ghost, Isabella Shaw, wife of James Shaw who built the castle as a stronghold in 1625. Isabella, unable to give James a son, was imprisoned in the 'ghost room' of the castle where she died a depressed and mournful figure. Naturally she came back to haunt the castle, and her ghostly room is preserved to this day.
The castle is now a fine hotel, overlooking Ballygally's fine sandy beach, popular with visitors and locals.
