Ghostly Stories Of Ardoyne

Ghostly Stories Of Ardoyne

By Paul Mc Cann

There is the story of Galloper Thompson

who lost his head on a mill guillotine ,

but there are so many other ghostly stories

about somethings that people have seen.

My sister baby sat sometimes

and she told me about something

that happened one night ,

there with a baby in an empty house ,

footsteps on the stairs gave her an awful fright .

Then outside a house where someone was shot ,

for no reason the door opened by itself ,

I heard a few stories about people

who had died but were seen by somebody else .

Then there was the story of the Ghost monk

who appeared in the altar at Holy Cross

and the wails of a banshee was heard in Ardoyne

before a sudden family loss .

There were also people who swore

they saw strange dark figures sitting

on some rooftops

and the story of the park roundabout there

that started to spin and suddenly stops .

I’m saw myself a woman in a shroud

who appeared and the next moment she was gone .

There must be other stories of ghostly sightings

that have been seen around old Ardoyne .
