Another unsolved mystery was that experienced by a family of evacuees from Belfast who took up residence in a cottage in Drumlin near Donacloney during the Second World War. On arrival at the cottage they found they had an uninvited lodger – a poltergeist – in the house. The poltergeist is a mischievous spirit and is responsible for hurling articles of crockery, ornaments and even furniture about the rooms, though seldom harming humans. Such was the case at Drumlin and although the affair was at first scorned by many it was later accepted as a matter of fact after it had been investigated by a number of village residents. This family, too, were forced to leave the house and it has since been reduced to rubble. Where does the poltergeist lodge now? Nobody knows but perhaps we may hear of it again!
