Ulster-Scots writer Darren Gibson and historian David Hume join together to investigate the ghost story that has been associated with Ballygally Castle on the Antrim coast for generations, and the life of Lady Isabella Shaw, the woman who inspired this tale.
Their journey takes them to Ballygally Castle itself and to the ‘ghost room', rumoured to be haunted by Lady Isabella. David and Darren also delve into the archives to find out more about her life in Ulster after settling here from Scotland in the 17th century.
They make a very exciting discovery and shake up the narrative that has existed for centuries in Ulster-Scots folklore about the life and death of this fascinating woman.
