History & local legend
Nemacolin Castle, also known as Bowman’s Castle, is the Bowman family’s historic home overlooking Brownsville’s riverfront. The house’s rooms have acquired a collection of ghost stories, several recorded by the Ghost Research Society.
Among the reported figures are a woman in a dark dress in the second-floor hallway, a white-clad woman called Elizabeth, and a child called Mary. The stories give different rooms their own associations, including children’s laughter near the nursery and footsteps in upstairs passages.
The society investigated the house on May 22, 2010.
