Cooneen Ghost House (the one where the stones bother us back!)

  • Summary

  • In a special ***BONUS EPISODE*** Gavin & Anne make a detour on their way home from County Fermanagh to visit the scene of one of Ireland's most famous and well-documented hauntings...

    Bridget Murphy and her children were reportedly terrorised by paranormal phenomenon at their small farmhouse in Cornarooslan townland.

    The 'ghost' moved objects around, banged and scraped on the walls & floor, shook the children's bed violently, and appeared to respond to questions asked in English, Irish and Latin.

    The phenomena went on for months and attracted widespread attention. It was reported in the press at the time. There were many witnesses to the haunting including local farmers, neighbours, and 'half a dozen' priests. The property was even visited by the local MP Mr Cahir Healy, who went on to write about his experiences in 'Ireland's Own' magazine.

    There were numerous attempts at exorcising the 'ghost', but none were successful and the haunting continued.

    Some said that the house was haunted before the family moved in and others blamed the fairies. Unfortunately for the Murphys, more and more local people seemed to turn against them as time went on. They claimed that the haunting was the result of witchcraft and blamed the family for their misfortune. The Murphys were ultimately forced to flee their home and leave the country.

    Is the Cooneen (Coonian) Ghost House still haunted? Should it be saved?

    Listen and make up your own mind.
