this story seems to be spiralling out of control - was even on GMTV this morning
Hmmm the boy that seen the ghost has a da who owns a pub.
The pub is right beside where the ghost was spotted.
There are crowds flocking to the area.
Some spirits might benefit alright!!
Apparently a few young lads just made it up and it spread like wildfire.

nothing like a good rumour to set the tongues wagging.
Shall we try and get one going ourselves???
Not a good idea FW, I started one last year that a friend got fired form the clothes shop he worked in for stealing stock. It got back to me very quickly and needless to say things were hostile for a while.
Personally though I thought it was a good one!
If you've been with them Coalisland women you'd think you'd seen a ghost...they're brutal and rough as a badgers arse

a started rumour concerning a major bank could lead to an economic armageddon!!
go on sideline, you have form for it and saying your from derry you obviously lack the moral fibre to have a conscience ::) ::)
He was an Armagh man too :D
Best thing about it was I managed to convince a few of our mutual friends that it was somebody else so I got a good bit of help passing the buck, he was still wary of me though.
Did you hear about the Bank of Ireland? I'll say no more :-X
Hi final whistle you go easy there....there's 2 prams in my house ;) :D

Ah yes rmember that, wans't that himself with a surname beginning with F?
Twas indeed!
But I shifted the majority of the blame on to himself with the massive head :D
Hi folks. Please note that this is not in Coalisland as the heading would suggest. It is in Brackaville. A totally different place.

no amigo, not again.
Ok, coalisland is a club, brackaville is a club.
Moy is a club but armagh is a ...........(deep breath) county.
If you had of said collegeland, port mor, killyman, eglish, dungannon, grange, clonmore,maghery it would have worked.
armagh however is a county! ::)

like lourdes or knock
Have you seen her? Is she a looker? Must get myself over there, with my best glad rags on.
I've heard it's a sign of good luck to see two Everton fans together, such is the rarity.

Seems crowds are still gathering outside this house every night.
I was talking to a man from Brackaville in his mid 50s yesterday and he told he remembers this woman people are saying has been dashing across the road. He told me when she died she lay behind the door of the house for 4-5 days before a homehelp found her. Is ironic now all the people that are going to the house now to see her...
That would be a good story apart from the fact that she had long since left the house and was residing in a home when she died!
Coalisland will do youse rightly.
That or New Mills. :P
Quote from: longrunsthefox on January 11, 2009, 04:23:31 PM
Boi... Did you know her... this fellow did. Then again it mightn't be her at all...
She definitely died in a nursing home in Roughan. Its all been blown way out of proportion the whole thing. I see there is a video on the Guardian website about it as well.
Well you are more likely to see a ghost round coalisland than a man working...or a fianna player with a county medal!
Ghost-oh.
Never trust 'the man'.
He once told me to give chocolate to a mentally deficient dog I had. I did and the mutt ran around in circles for a minute and sprinted off into the distance, never to be seen again.
"It looks an old woman with a white dress and a long white cape down her back," said 17-year-old Ryan Bell who claims to have seen the ghost at least six times.
its the feckin banshee!

Maybe it was an old woman with a white dress and long white cape down her back.
That description fits Bronagh O'Neill, wife of the bold Shane. She walks the hills in the dead of night, wailing for her first love, a man with a full head of hair from the Washing Bay who emigrated to Maghery in 1989, never to return! :D
Meant to post earlier. On the last word a few days ago they had that pub owner on and he said the woman was headless! Then later he said she had a sad face. How in the name of god did she manage this? Sounds like a scam to get an airport built to me...oh wait no that was somewhere else.
I took a wee race up there last night - I definitely saw the ghost -it was kinda weird - all the lads with me saw her as well.
The crowds were huge.
Why not pay a visit ? You'll get your eyes opened !

Sure I was in your class at Primary School. :D
Reported - for outing my real identity
i think you northern lads are taking this peace and sam maguire thing too seriously.
I've seen several ghosts in my time, so I won't be discounting this off-hand.
Tell us more Ziggy...
Ziggy - you haven't seen any ghosts. Ghosts don't exist. Reassess.
Saw the Devil and he laughed at me. Met the Banshee and she hit me.

Lack of sleep, alcohol, drugs ?
