Halloween- Irish Ghost stories

[supersarsfields]

Just for the time of year we're getting into. I always used to love a good read of local ghost stories. Anyone got some good local ones that are worth a read. Always liked the ones that are linked to events in history.

Here's one local Tyrone one to get started.

Oh not the Coalisland/Brackaville ghost again! I seen this 'ghost' with my own two eyes. It was the headlights of my own car. Now that IS a true story.

Give me the science. How did your car lights cause this phenomenon?

Do people still see the 'Ghost' when driving or just a select few depending on their headlights setting.

There's a dip in the road where this ghost is meant to be seen. When driving into the dip, the angle of your lights and the road makes it look like there's a white figure moving across the road in front of you.

I can't explain the science, but that's what I seen loads of times. And yes, you will still see it, driving from Brackaville towards Stewartstown.

Was this her?



Looks and sounds like a banshee anyway....

They milked it that week though, and fair f**ks to them too. Even newspapers and TV crews from Britain were there. It must have been a slow news week.
