Black Nun's grave Ballycastle
As an exercise in humility the Black Nun wished to be buried where everyone entering the Friary would walk upon her remains
Bonamargy Friary is supposedly haunted by the ghost of the Black Nun, Julia McQuillan, who lived there alone after the Friary fell out of use in 1641.
There is a common story that the Black Nun was murdered on the steps leading to the upper floor of the Friary while looking out the slit window. Legend has it that bad luck will befall anyone who walks on the step where she fell. (check out the photo of the steps - the one that is third from top is the step where she is supposed to have been murdered. It is untrodden and unworn
compared to the others)
