The sale of Gight to the Earl of Aberdeen after the marriage, and the death of Lord Haddo in 1791 after a fall from his horse, are documented. The prophecies are folk traditions. Gregor reports that the third death happened when someone remarked that the prophecy had not come true and was then killed by a falling wall.
The ruin is also said to be haunted by a piper who vanished in an underground passage, according to Wikipedia.
