Welcome to Scary Era, 6 00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:46,759 Mark Manning Well, Hello strangers, it's been a while, and 7 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,679 welcome back indeed to the aforementioned scary Era. Yeah, it's 8 00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:54,520 been a bit of an extended break. After I came 9 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,159 back from New York. Well, things got a little bit 10 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,039 wiry and neglect came into play. There's a reason for it, 11 00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:03,240 and I'm going to tell you all about it, But 12 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,079 first I believe in getting stuck right in. PJ Doug 13 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,760 is one of many pjs who are in the paranormal community. 14 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,560 He is the founder of Beyond Ireland Paranormal. He's an 15 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,920 expert at investigating the county he fell in love with 16 00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:27,680 many years ago. Carlo So was it an angry spirit, 17 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,599 a poltergeist or the dead from a famine pit that 18 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,000 made him and his beloved wife and child flee from 19 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:44,239 their home? Listen in let's just explore. So what happened 20 00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:48,400 in the house that made you like really kind of 21 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,799 scratch your head at the easiest and at the worst 22 00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:54,040 really worried that you had to seek help with the church? 23 00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:55,560 What was going right? 24 00:01:56,519 --> 00:02:01,959 Speaker 2: Okay? And just put it right. About four weeks in, okay, 25 00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:07,959 and I had this five five system in the sitting 26 00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:14,280 room and it was record okay and cape at the 27 00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:18,680 time to show you the year. And realistically, you know, 28 00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:24,599 I was big into guns and roses. So this night 29 00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:28,159 into three in the morning, the high five system came 30 00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:32,520 on and banging out of it was Welcome to the jungle, right, 31 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,439 and the white jumps up in the bed and she says, 32 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,960 hung that off? How did you leave the aunt? She 33 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,680 went up to bed before me thought I fell asleep, 34 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,199 came off the bed and left the high five system 35 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,159 blasting now. But and I started looking at her, gone, no, 36 00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:56,080 I I had that turned off. So here I would 37 00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:58,680 bed down the stairs into the sitting room and started 38 00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:02,360 looking at hours under it's blasting out, so I'll go 39 00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:05,439 over switch it off. So about two nights later or 40 00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:09,120 the same thing happens at the same time. So I 41 00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:12,120 said to myself, the hell that's going on? Here. So 42 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,960 that was grand powered it off again. Maybe there's a slight. 43 00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: Fault with the wiring. Maybe yeah, the wiring, because there 44 00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:27,280 was only serves. I had it roughly about five weeks. 45 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,840 So what I did was went back down to the shop, 46 00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:32,000 brought it down to the shop and says, hey, lads, 47 00:03:32,039 --> 00:03:34,639 I have a warranty here. This is turning itself on 48 00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:37,840 and I mustn't taking anything paranormal. I was just thinking 49 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,520 the obvious. It might be a fault, it might be 50 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,520 a wiring issue. 51 00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:45,439 Speaker 2: Who knows. After two days, the contact me and said, 52 00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:48,919 so there's no issue with that. We can't find anything 53 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:54,120 wrong with that, and went down, collected it, placed it 54 00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:59,520 back into the sitting room, and about or five nights 55 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,319 later it came back on, and I said that these 56 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,840 didn't do their job. They must have just said he oh, 57 00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:10,400 that he's done, and he must be dreaming that it's 58 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,319 coming on or something because so on. So this time 59 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,240 I said right, I went down plugged it out. I 60 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,560 never thought I plugging it back in. And the next 61 00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:23,439 night the high five system comes on and I run 62 00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:26,199 run down the stairs forgot I had it plugged out 63 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,759 from the main I could see the power on went 64 00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:34,600 over and went to plug it out and went, how 65 00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:35,639 is that possible? 66 00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: Wow? And can I ask you know, when I was 67 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,800 playing kind of was it all the time Welcome to 68 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,360 the Jungle? Or was it just random? 69 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 2: No? No, basically, believe me. I took the record out 70 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,480 of the deck and everything else, and it would be 71 00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:51,319 the radio that had come on and whatever channel were 72 00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:54,759 sort of fixed that at the time, it just be blairing. 73 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,120 But the volume was allwas It was very high on it, 74 00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:01,120 so literally you would have to earned the dial on it, 75 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,439 which I had the dial turned down even yes, And 76 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,079 I was like and I was still not say anything 77 00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:11,199 power or because actually, Mark, I had no relief in 78 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,600 it whatsoever? Thing about what was? I literally booked the 79 00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:20,399 whole five five system out of the sitting room, took 80 00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:23,439 it apart, booked the speakers off, everything else, and put 81 00:05:23,439 --> 00:05:26,279 it under the stairs because I wanted a good nice 82 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,920 to see. I didn't want to try it disturbed anymore. 83 00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:31,160 And see I didn't want the wife go on that. 84 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,199 If that makes sense. 85 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, totally was it.

But when they're 90 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,959 being working, I could see you know yourself. Sleep deprivation 91 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,560 is used as as a major form of torture. That 92 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,600 would be driving you mad. And of course you could 93 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,120 put it down to a short circuit or a loose 94 00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:05,240 wire or a socket or something. But when you went 95 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,319 and you literally stripped it back to its components, plugged 96 00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:13,079 it out of the wall, and it's gone off again. 97 00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:16,879 So that's like a real ring a radio station time 98 00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:20,160 nearly However, there must have been other events that that's 99 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,560 kind of sis. 100 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,519 Speaker 2: That was what I called the light stuff. 101 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 3: Okay, that was pretty must be more right, go for it. 102 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,199 Speaker 2: There is more.

And then when I 227 00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:34,679 turned it around, I said, how's that awesible? And it 228 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,720 was like, the only way I can describe it is 229 00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:39,279 if you've got a red hot walker and step it 230 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:44,720 up with the bottom, it will burn upwards it And. 231 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,039 Speaker 1: That's might sound a stupid question. Was it a plastic 232 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,759 bottle or yes, plastic back So you're back in the 233 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,919 nineties sometime or any nineties that are we talking? 234 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're talking roughie about ninety three.

And next minute you 239 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,320 see it's. 240 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,879 Speaker 1: Burnt upwards, yes, like I got it poked into it. 241 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And I said, how is that possible? And 242 00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:27,159 still at the same time, I kept looking at it 243 00:14:27,279 --> 00:14:31,000 and I went, okay, I'll just discarded. I can't explain it, 244 00:14:31,799 --> 00:14:36,720 and you know, right and still logic or was telling 245 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,240 me that's not possible because I'd have to have something 246 00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:42,799 hot shoved up the way the plastic could go upwards 247 00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:46,279 inside the bottle. I started left alone, insidnything to the life. 248 00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:52,759 And about three nights later after that, I woke up 249 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:58,200 with burning sensation all across my back and chest. And 250 00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,840 when I jumped out of the bed, I says like 251 00:14:59,879 --> 00:15:04,120 a was on fire for a bart world, and I 252 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,159 turned on the light. I looked straight at the mayror, 253 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,559 and the wife went, there were scrapes all the way 254 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,960 down my back, all across my chest. And I had 255 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,480 no explanation for I didn't do it to myself. Obviously, 256 00:15:18,519 --> 00:15:21,639 I can't reach behind my own back and scrape it 257 00:15:21,639 --> 00:15:24,559 from the base of my neck right down to the 258 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,639 base in my back. And I said, okay, there there's 259 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,480 I'm I'm just I don't know what to do. So 260 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,960 I said to the wife, I said, I'll tell you 261 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,639 what we're gonna do. We're going to sleep down in 262 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,840 the same room. And at that point I for a 263 00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:47,600 bart word got a punt in the arm. I couldn't 264 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,320 see what punched me or anything else. Well, it was physical. 265 00:15:51,559 --> 00:15:55,279 I could feel the impact. And she looked at me 266 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,480 and she's and she's seen the way. I sort of 267 00:15:57,919 --> 00:16:01,000 went down, and she said, what's going on? And next 268 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,200 minute she got a bunch that she said, that's it. 269 00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:08,440 She ran down the stairs into the sitting room. I 270 00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:11,440 came down, pulled the mattress off the dead and that's 271 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,879 where we started to sleep all but with the child 272 00:16:14,919 --> 00:16:18,559 and everything else. We want to sleep upstairs because sometimes 273 00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:21,080 the way we think, we think we protect ourselves from 274 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,600 we're in groups, or if we go into a certain 275 00:16:23,679 --> 00:16:26,559 room that's not really going on while the activity is 276 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,759 going on upstairs, it might leave us alone. So I 277 00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:31,480 said to know, if I said, look, I'm going to 278 00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:34,639 go to a priest, so I went down to I 279 00:16:34,679 --> 00:16:37,399 won't say what your kid is because I don't want 280 00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:38,200 to embarrass them. 281 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: And so you're at your wits end today. Are you 282 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,080 a religious man or are you're like a lot of 283 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,879 as a general belief or no. 284 00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:51,279 Speaker 2: I would't be considering myself religious at that point. I 285 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,279 would have been just general belief, you know, and what 286 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,440 you are into Now I would say I am a 287 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:02,039 religious man, but think about it was that went in 288 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,960 and remember waiting on this priest finishes compression. 289 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,759 Speaker 1: Hold the priest. Let's just resume here. So you're in 290 00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:15,200 a house, you're a young man, it's circa nineteen ninety three, 291 00:17:15,559 --> 00:17:19,519 You're in County Carlow. You are getting on with your life. 292 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,079 One night, and it's not the first time it happens. 293 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,400 Your stereo takes up and starts playing by itself. So 294 00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:32,000 nothing too odd about that until you plug it out, 295 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,559 and even after that it still starts playing by itself. 296 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,640 We move on in time in your younger brother he 297 00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:45,000 comes to stay. He accuses you of acting the maggot 298 00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:47,920 by leaning in his doorway in a leather jacket, and 299 00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:53,200 an insult in them. That goes on. Then we have 300 00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:59,359 the situation where it really gets like physical and also 301 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,839 there's a an anomaly with the milk bottle. You must 302 00:18:03,839 --> 00:18:05,759 have been at your wits end by the time you 303 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,480 arrived at the priests, so take it from there. 304 00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:12,559 Speaker 2: I was because I'm sort of a very stubborn individual 305 00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:14,839 and I was sort of trying to write it out. 306 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,240 But I knew at this stage that that wasn't possible, 307 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,079 you know, of. 308 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: Course, especially with a child in the house as well. 309 00:18:21,319 --> 00:18:23,599 This is this has sounded like a poltergeist now at 310 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,279 this point. 311 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,599 Speaker 2: You know, yeah, and what I was dealing with here 312 00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:32,680 was harmful, okay, And I didn't know what extended will 313 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,599 go to. And the way I looked at it was okay, 314 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,839 if I went to a priest explained it to him, 315 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,119 he would come over and do something about it, you know, 316 00:18:43,319 --> 00:18:46,680 because you get these thoughts in your head that, okay, 317 00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:49,559 priests can do everything and get rid of things that 318 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,400 you can't explain. And the priest looked at me like 319 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,160 I was stonewall Matt okay, and he wouldn't touch on it. 320 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,720 So I said, okay, that went very well, and went 321 00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:08,920 down different avenues to sort of dealing with this problem. 322 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,079 Every time I went down sort of two other charismatic 323 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:18,000 groups and Christian groups and so on, I was sort 324 00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:22,240 of coming up against a wall because this or there 325 00:19:22,319 --> 00:19:25,680 was just this weird fear about it was like taboo 326 00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:29,599 we don't want to talk about. I just was at 327 00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:33,839 my wits end. Sleep was non existent, and you were 328 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,839 just thinking about the whole time you were dreading or 329 00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:42,079 roughly from a clock onwards in the evening. The only 330 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,599 thing you could think of was how to get through 331 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,359 the night, you know, And that was the reality in it. 332 00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:54,000 And you couldn't part of get any validation from anybody 333 00:19:54,039 --> 00:19:57,599 that at the time that there's something about this house. 334 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,319 But somebody to come up and say, hey, lod if 335 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,880 I was you with the house, we had an experience 336 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,599 or whatever. It was not under the above, seemingly anybody 337 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,359 that lived in the house, but very quickly and didn't 338 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,440 really want to sort of explain why at the time. 339 00:20:12,599 --> 00:20:15,000 And as I said, it wasn't until I knocked on 340 00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:19,039 the door of that lecture and he was sort of 341 00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:22,880 putting text on that I've begun within three months and 342 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,480 he couldn't believe how long I sort of lasted out. 343 00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:31,039 Now I didn't win anything. I I just he confirmed, 344 00:20:31,759 --> 00:20:34,559 but I feared that. He says, anybody that was their 345 00:20:34,839 --> 00:20:39,680 previous to yourself left the house, and the landlord had 346 00:20:39,799 --> 00:20:42,799 knowledge that there was something going on, because he said 347 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,839 people were telling him, and obviously they were telling the 348 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:51,640 landlord that they couldn't explain rightly was happening to them, 349 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,119 and the only way to sort of deal with it 350 00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:58,960 was yeah. And the thing about the thing about it 351 00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:03,440 was that when he went about the owner, which died 352 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,559 ten years previous, been in the house or I sort 353 00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:10,000 of got the sense that we had an angry spirit 354 00:21:10,039 --> 00:21:12,519 here and if okay, if you sort of died in 355 00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:14,880 your own I was more found for a week. And 356 00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:21,680 you know, maybe how that situation, this aggressive haunt happened, okay, 357 00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:27,200 But what was interesting about it was that years after 358 00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:32,880 I was hearing reports about other people going into students 359 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,680 going into it. Literally they were beginning device that the 360 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,079 house was haunted. Then couples will go into it and 361 00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:44,599 they would have the same experience. And then up to 362 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,680 about a year ago, I remembered out for a drink, 363 00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:52,759 I started knew this man, you know, and he started 364 00:21:52,759 --> 00:21:56,000 came out to me and he says, look, he says, 365 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,519 just looking for your advice. On fure says, what's that? 366 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,039 And the land's name was man and he says, my, uh, 367 00:22:03,559 --> 00:22:07,480 some needs a thousan yours off because he want to 368 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,160 get out of the house he's living. And I said, okay, 369 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,920 all right, and I says, what's the problem. He says, 370 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,640 and you see, it's still start with some people. It's 371 00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:23,000 a stigma to say. It's hard, of course, Yes, he 372 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,640 said that the house is haunted. I think he's trying 373 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,880 to get an easy touse in yours out And I 374 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,680 don't know why I turn it out or anything. And 375 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,880 I says, where is he living? And he says he's 376 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:41,440 living here, say the Air of Vicinity. I went oh. 377 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,759 And then I said to him, I said, does he 378 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,839 live at number search and Search? And he says, how 379 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,400 do you know the name? I said the name stayed 380 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,839 to him, and he goes and he's start look at me. 381 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,240 He says, I'll tell you what now, you you'll give 382 00:23:01,319 --> 00:23:05,519 yours on that thousand yours very quickly, because what that 383 00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:08,799 chapter ten he is to do. And he looked at 384 00:23:08,839 --> 00:23:10,480 me and I said, I'm not joking. You believe me. 385 00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:13,160 I lived in it in the nineties and I know 386 00:23:13,279 --> 00:23:17,880 exactly now what his career is he I don't know. 387 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,440 Did he ever give his something the morning or anything else? 388 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,519 Speaker 1: No, but it was further validation for you. Tell me, 389 00:23:23,559 --> 00:23:25,519 how long did you did you stick it out in there? 390 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 2: Eight months? Oh? 391 00:23:27,759 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 3: Wow? 392 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 4: Got you? 393 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: You should have got a medal for it, because I 394 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,839 think I would have been gone within a day or two. 395 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 2: Actually, to be quite honest, I would have been if 396 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:41,400 I had to have the finances. Yes I did at 397 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:41,759 the time. 398 00:23:42,319 --> 00:23:45,839 Speaker 1: You can I because sorry, can I I get it? 399 00:23:46,079 --> 00:23:47,880 First of all, how old was this house? 400 00:23:48,799 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: This house was said the build on this house or 401 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,720 was roughly about twenty five years old. 402 00:23:55,759 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: So it was contemporary you know, yeah, fifties or sixties 403 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:01,920 or whatever. 404 00:24:01,759 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 2: It was, oh sixties. 405 00:24:03,599 --> 00:24:05,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it wasn't that old at all. And was 406 00:24:05,759 --> 00:24:08,359 it remote for any other houses? It was in a 407 00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:10,359 state at. 408 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you know, to look at it now you 409 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,599 think it was a very peaceful estate and everything else, 410 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:22,000 But realistically inside it there was a personal help. 411 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned now and now is an interesting time 412 00:24:25,839 --> 00:24:29,039 because you can probably go back on the internet and 413 00:24:29,079 --> 00:24:32,680 research the history of the land. At least it was on. 414 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 2: Did research the history of the land, and there was 415 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,920 an interesting point on it, and there was I met 416 00:24:40,079 --> 00:24:46,480 Chippy one day, okay, Carpenter, Now he worked on those houses, 417 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,119 and he sort of said to me that the house, 418 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,960 the houses themselves were harshly buised on faman. 419 00:24:53,759 --> 00:25:00,319 Speaker 1: Land to a degree on what land sorry of course, yeah, okay. 420 00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 2: And he said that when they were digging up ground, 421 00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:11,920 they came across variational skeletons, and it took time and process. 422 00:25:12,039 --> 00:25:14,880 Before this it was all sort of laid to rest. 423 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,720 They was cleared out and everything else. But realistically, what 424 00:25:19,519 --> 00:25:24,279 the builders really had done was disturbed radiar. 425 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:29,599 Speaker 1: They they desecrated it. Yeah, they desecrated the famine pit. 426 00:25:30,039 --> 00:25:33,240 Probably there was a commercial imperative to get things done, 427 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,400 so I'm sure it wasn't. Probably any dissenteering that went 428 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,400 on was probably done with very little respect. 429 00:25:40,599 --> 00:25:44,319 Speaker 2: Might say more likely. And you see that sort of 430 00:25:46,039 --> 00:25:49,519 validated for me then that what we're dealing with here 431 00:25:49,599 --> 00:25:53,119 now wasn't just one individual passing away inside the house, 432 00:25:53,519 --> 00:25:58,079 but there was multiple things that behind it all that 433 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:03,440 literally contributed this ought. Well, it wasn't the only years there. 434 00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:05,559 I found out there was another house in the estate 435 00:26:05,599 --> 00:26:09,039 that was having problems. Now I don't know exactly by 436 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,440 extent or anything else, but I know certain people were 437 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,240 talking about having issues and it was always going up 438 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,799 for sale as well. So it's obvious that whatever the 439 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,440 barrier was, literally this house would have been sitting on 440 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,039 it and when it got cleared away, whatever stead behind, 441 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,039 like an attachment, it's sort of follyed on in the 442 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,279 land that's where it was going. 443 00:26:32,519 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: Of course. Yeah, like it's I think what happens at times, 444 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:41,720 is something traumatic or horrific happens in an area at 445 00:26:41,759 --> 00:26:46,799 certain times. Yeah, maybe certain atmospherics can bring it back 446 00:26:46,839 --> 00:26:50,960 into play. The only thing I'd say in respect of yours, 447 00:26:51,559 --> 00:26:54,519 as we touched on earlier, as it got personal, so 448 00:26:54,559 --> 00:26:58,640 that would sound like an individual entity or spirit of 449 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,480 some kind, and and you know, maybe it was their 450 00:27:01,519 --> 00:27:03,960 way of saying move on as well. You know, get out. 451 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,440 I know it's a classic, we use it there all 452 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,880 the time, get out, get out, there you go. So 453 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,200 that was the end of that, or was sir, anything else? 454 00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:18,119 What happened then in Pj's life to pursue paranormal Oh 455 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,599 we'll be finding out in the coming weeks. Sorry, folks, 456 00:27:20,599 --> 00:27:23,960 I had to cut it there just for reasons of time. PJ, Doug, 457 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,119 thank you so much. I will be using the hour 458 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,880 and probably hour and a half of audio that we had, 459 00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:33,920 As I said, come on soon now after this we 460 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:34,559 need to talk. 461 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:35,079 Speaker 5: Hi. 462 00:27:35,319 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 6: Jenny Sullivan here. I am the creator and founder of 463 00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:43,640 Emerald Isle Paranormal Researchers. You can find our latest investigation 464 00:27:43,839 --> 00:27:47,680 of the Beautiful and infamous lep Castle. You can find 465 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,960 that on our YouTube page and our Facebook. 466 00:27:51,440 --> 00:28:02,519 Speaker 4: Page, Mark. 467 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,079 Speaker 7: Manning. 468 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: So here we are gathered together, dear brethren, in our 469 00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:17,680 cozy mutual interest of all things paranormal in Ireland and beyond. 470 00:28:17,759 --> 00:28:21,319 And we are in season two, episode seven, So that 471 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:26,039 means we've come seventeen episodes since we started Scary Era 472 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,960 in October of last year. And this has been the 473 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,599 biggest break that we've had since those episodes because they're 474 00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:38,119 normally bi weekly and I'll tell you why you're waiting 475 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,720 bi monthly until this one. But with the proviso, it 476 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,799 won't happen again. So basically I was I think I 477 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,839 uploaded in was it early June or late May? The 478 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:55,440 last episode. Then we went to New York. I have 479 00:28:55,559 --> 00:28:58,559 fallen in love with Brooklyn Heights over there. That's not 480 00:28:58,599 --> 00:29:02,359 a person, it's a place. It's just amazing. And I 481 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,839 spent my time over there with my wife and daughters. 482 00:29:05,119 --> 00:29:11,359 And we came home. I contacted Paranormal UK Radio, who 483 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,359 are great people and they distribute the show and I 484 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,200 said to Mark there, I said, Mark, listen, I've been away, 485 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,000 so I'm going to be uploading a show fairly soon. 486 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,160 Mark was nonplus and he said to me, you've grad 487 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,759 He said, no problem whatsoever. I've been on vacation myself. 488 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,880 Mark is based in the States, and he said, look, 489 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:38,799 just uploaded when you get a chance. So prior to this, 490 00:29:39,599 --> 00:29:43,599 you know, I've always felt the impetus to upload every 491 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,799 two weeks because Paranormal Radio UK are super as I said, 492 00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:51,559 they sling shot the show around all the major platforms 493 00:29:51,599 --> 00:29:55,559 that Spotify's, the Amazons, the Audibles, you name it. So 494 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,960 I think you see, it was city season. The weather 495 00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:04,079 was amazing here Mark as well, I think, and Paranormal 496 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:09,160 Radio UK they were also kind of caught in the 497 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,839 doll drums of holiday seasons, so they didn't apply They're 498 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,599 a pleasure to deal with and I'm not in any 499 00:30:16,599 --> 00:30:19,839 way suggesting they're to blame, but they didn't apply any 500 00:30:19,839 --> 00:30:23,319 pressure on me, so I kept saying, oh yeah, I'll 501 00:30:23,319 --> 00:30:25,920 get to it next week. Meanwhile, back on the ranch, 502 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,759 my poor missus fell ill with a bug which really 503 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,759 lasted about three weeks. That took up time at disturbed things. 504 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,200 I subsequently came down with it. Now I wouldn't let 505 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,079 myself take to the bed, but it's a nasty thing, 506 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,440 and then I got caught in voiceovers, which is what 507 00:30:46,519 --> 00:30:50,160 I do for a living, and it just got neglected 508 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,359 and neglected and neglected. And I did about two or 509 00:30:53,359 --> 00:30:55,960 three weeks ago. To be fair, as you've just heard PJ. 510 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:00,039 Doug from Beyond Ireland Paranormal, we did this big in 511 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,759 you and you will be hearing the rest of it. 512 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,960 And he was great. And I'm going to give him 513 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,960 a call in the next day or two and just say, listen, 514 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,319 that wasn't a waste of time. I just needed to 515 00:31:10,319 --> 00:31:13,519 get my act together. I got the bug. I was 516 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,640 only back from New Yorker. I had awful toothache. I 517 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,839 know this sounds like the dog ate my homework. I'm 518 00:31:19,839 --> 00:31:21,799 just telling you what happened, folks. I ended up in 519 00:31:21,839 --> 00:31:24,400 the dentist. He said, I'm not going to pull that tooth. 520 00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:30,240 He said, I'm convinced it's an infection. Now. Toothache is 521 00:31:30,279 --> 00:31:32,680 so painful, as you all know, and he said, look, 522 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,680 I'm going to give you antibiotics. You know you have 523 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,240 little enough teeth as it is without me pulling more. 524 00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:41,839 It did pass eventually, but I can tell you now, guys, 525 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,559 in the last week it's come back with a vengeance. 526 00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:47,160 As a matter of fact, I only go at two 527 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,960 hours sleep last night, so I'm on pain killers. They're 528 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,839 working just now. They will fade again. It's like three 529 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,519 teeth this time, but it's kind of Joe and only 530 00:31:58,559 --> 00:32:00,799 be sounding like what I am say, two year old 531 00:32:00,839 --> 00:32:04,599 man giving you my aches and pains, but it's sore, 532 00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:09,279 so tonight have more painkillers on standby. So look, that's 533 00:32:09,319 --> 00:32:12,319 what happened. It's not going to happen again. My plan 534 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,839 for this is I'm going into fifty episodes.

But I need you to make it happen. 550 00:33:04,839 --> 00:33:08,240 It helps me to get the content. You know, Paranormal 551 00:33:08,279 --> 00:33:11,200 Ireland at ProtonMail dot com. I won't say it again 552 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,839 because it'll only sound desperate. It's what makes the world 553 00:33:13,839 --> 00:33:17,799 go round is you and your stories. Now I have 554 00:33:17,839 --> 00:33:21,440 two small but personal ones for you. I was only 555 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,559 back from New York when I was invited to a 556 00:33:23,559 --> 00:33:27,680 film premier cows Shed Media. Of all people, Jerry Johnson 557 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,680 down there, who's a legend in the actual film industry 558 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,400 in Ireland and beyond. He's worked with everybody, Pierce Brosnan, 559 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,640 Sean Connery, who else did he he gave I know 560 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,799 Colin Farrell his initial break. He's just a great guy. 561 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,799 So I walked into don Leary and you might remember 562 00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:48,400 we had an episode about a gay murder in Ireland, 563 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,519 unsolved of a gentleman called Charles Self who worked for 564 00:33:52,599 --> 00:33:54,640 the National broadcaster RTE. 565 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 2: Here. 566 00:33:56,039 --> 00:34:00,359 Speaker 1: It took place in a place called Annesley Muse and 567 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,160 I had always thought I knew where it was. But 568 00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:06,319 after I did the Peace, and some weeks had expired, 569 00:34:06,359 --> 00:34:08,400 I came back from the States. I'm walking back from 570 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:13,400 this walking to don Leary Farewell walk, beautiful day. I 571 00:34:13,599 --> 00:34:15,800 just can't explain to you what happened, dear listener, But 572 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:21,000 I felt drawn too. I said, I'd say it's around there, 573 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,840 and sure enough I found myself within a minute standing 574 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,960 outside Annesley mused, now, please, if you are Dublin Baks, 575 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,639 don't be going there. People live there now, and I'm 576 00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:35,639 sure no one know what went on. Luden them don't 577 00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:38,360 know what went on. But I found myself right outside 578 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,320 the gate and it was in the vicinity of where 579 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,719 I thought it used to be for years. But it 580 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,639 was only after I did the show. It was like 581 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,559 a calling. It might sound fanciful, but that happened. So 582 00:34:51,079 --> 00:34:55,400 rip Charles self and the other thing. Again. You'll think 583 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,239 I'm crazy, But you know when you have one of 584 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,679 these vivid, vivid dreams, and I I dreamt I was 585 00:35:02,119 --> 00:35:05,440 talking to my late mother about something I had done 586 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,320 in my twenties that she wasn't very impressed with. Now, 587 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,920 by the way, anyone who's muckrake and it wasn't anything 588 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,960 major at all. It's just you know, when a mother 589 00:35:16,119 --> 00:35:20,440 disagrees with her son, you know, on principle about something, 590 00:35:20,639 --> 00:35:22,599 and of course at that age, no one's going to 591 00:35:22,679 --> 00:35:25,239 tell you. And of course, with the benefit of hindsight, 592 00:35:25,639 --> 00:35:29,960 she was one hundred and ten percent correct. And I 593 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,039 think it kind of lay in the dormant in the 594 00:35:32,079 --> 00:35:36,440 back of my conscious for some time consciousness. And so 595 00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:40,199 I'm having this dream and in it I'm with her 596 00:35:40,519 --> 00:35:44,719 and I'm sorry. I'm telling her, I'm so sorry you 597 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,400 were right about that and I was wrong, and I'm 598 00:35:47,519 --> 00:35:51,119 crying in the dream now in the cold light of day. 599 00:35:51,159 --> 00:35:53,880 I don't know why, you know, but obviously at the 600 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,599 time she wasn't happy. I disobeyed her, basically did my 601 00:35:58,639 --> 00:36:00,920 own thing, as I think you have to kids anywhere. 602 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,760 You have to let people in their twenties find their 603 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,599 own way. I'm a father myself, and you have to. 604 00:36:06,079 --> 00:36:09,079 But she wasn't happy at the time. She was proved right, 605 00:36:09,639 --> 00:36:11,719 and I was crying and said, I'm sorry, you were 606 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,000 right about that, you were so right about that, and 607 00:36:14,079 --> 00:36:17,840 I was wrong. You know what, guys, I felt as 608 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:22,920 if my mother touched like rub touched gave me a 609 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,880 gentle rub to the back of the head as much 610 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,400 as to say it's okay. It was so real. I 611 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,039 woke up with a jolt. I could feel a hand 612 00:36:31,079 --> 00:36:33,679 at the back of my head, and I wasn't missus 613 00:36:33,679 --> 00:36:35,639 manning because she was snoring in the way and the 614 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,599 land even of Nod, so that happened as well. Right, 615 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,280 So look, so I'm on board. Please help out, That's 616 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,400 all I'm asking. If you're enjoying the show, I need 617 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,400 you in scary Era's corner. Now, what we're gonna listen 618 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:56,679 to next is some goings on in Lizmore Heritage Center 619 00:36:57,159 --> 00:36:59,800 read by the Squire, aided and a betted by the 620 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:05,360 voice actress and radio personality Sarah Campbell. Go google her. 621 00:37:05,639 --> 00:37:09,280 She's based up around Ross Trevor and Uri. Let's listen 622 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:13,280 to that. Then I'm going again in the vicinity of 623 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,400 the kind of affluent, leafy suburbs of Dublin south to 624 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,960 an area called Vesey Place. It's to do really with 625 00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:26,599 Poltergeist's and I have made every effort to contact the 626 00:37:26,679 --> 00:37:29,199 lady responsible for what you're going to hear. Her name 627 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,400 is Helena Byrne. I've tried to contact her in various ways. 628 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,960 Do check her out at Helenaburn dot com because by 629 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,039 all accounts she's not only a very talented singer but 630 00:37:40,199 --> 00:37:44,000 actress as well. Helenaburn dot com. The piece was recorded 631 00:37:44,039 --> 00:37:48,000 about four or five twenty twenty, so what five years 632 00:37:48,039 --> 00:37:51,679 ago it was recorded, and it's short piece, but I 633 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,320 found it quite atmospheric and you just don't know what 634 00:37:55,480 --> 00:38:00,159 is behind people's doors, so listen for that. Also, I'm 635 00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:02,599 going to whizz you back in time to nineteen eighty 636 00:38:02,679 --> 00:38:07,000 five again for a piece of audio that is in 637 00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:10,280 the public domain and it concerns a family who were 638 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,880 a bit down at heel in County Longford. It's a 639 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,320 recording of them. They ended up moving themselves and their 640 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,639 children to a four berth caravan out of their council 641 00:38:21,679 --> 00:38:26,039 house where they were driven by strange and ghostly and 642 00:38:26,079 --> 00:38:30,360 haunting and noisy boulter Geist type events. They're very I'm 643 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,280 sure they won't mind me saying this, very ordinary people. 644 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,000 It was tough times. It was a council house and 645 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,440 it wasn't you know, the usual roll in your eye suspicious. 646 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,280 Oh they wanted an upgrade, I don't believe. So they 647 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,039 were apparently up to date with their rent and they 648 00:38:48,039 --> 00:38:52,880 wouldn't take that house. Of course here in little oh 649 00:38:53,119 --> 00:38:55,840 Penny Pinch in Ireland. I don't think they got much help. 650 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,559 I don't know what happened in the end. The piece 651 00:38:57,679 --> 00:39:01,320 hails from nineteen eighty five and you will be hearing 652 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:06,679 it shortly. Okay, we've come this far, let's go to Lismore. 653 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:14,639 Speaker 8: An Irish paranormal research group Paranormal Supernatural Investigations Ireland PSI 654 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,719 has reported unusual phenomena at the Lismore Heritage Center in 655 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:23,199 County Waterford following an overnight investigation of the site's historic 656 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,719 courtroom on the second of August twenty twenty five. The 657 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:32,320 team described witnessing a truly strange optical phenomenon during their visit, 658 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,280 suggesting it may be linked to the building's past judicial role. 659 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,960 Last night at the Lismore Heritage Site, we captured a 660 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,000 truly strange optical phenomenon in the old courtroom. Is it 661 00:39:44,039 --> 00:39:47,159 possible that we've stumbled upon a portal to another dimension? 662 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,679 The group posted on their Facebook page. The energy in 663 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,760 this room was strong, especially considering its history. The courtroom 664 00:39:55,159 --> 00:39:58,920 formerly used for criminal sentencing in the eighteenth and nineteenth 665 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,920 centuries is within the Heritage Center, which was part of 666 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,760 the broader Lismore Castle estate. Historical accounts indicate that individual's 667 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,320 sentence there were sometimes taken to Gallows Hill, roughly one 668 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,639 kilometer away, for execution. This is where individuals learn their 669 00:40:15,639 --> 00:40:19,199 fate after sentencing, with some tragically sent to Gallows Hill 670 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,519 to be hanged not far from here. The post continued. 671 00:40:22,679 --> 00:40:26,639 PSII suggested that the emotional weight of the courtroom's past 672 00:40:27,199 --> 00:40:30,639 may have left a lasting impression on the site. 673 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,199 Speaker 9: The history of this location adds layers of intrigue to 674 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,639 what we witnessed. Imagine the souls that once filled this 675 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:44,000 room here in the gavel fall and facing that ultimate judgment. 676 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,960 The weight of the stories hangs in the air, and 677 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,360 it makes you wonder could there be something more than 678 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,440 just memories lingering here? And that's not all. We also 679 00:40:54,519 --> 00:40:59,559 have an incredible image of our seven foot translucent, entirely 680 00:40:59,639 --> 00:41:04,039 capture near this very spot. What does it mean? Are 681 00:41:04,039 --> 00:41:07,360 we witnessing echoes of the past or is there something else? 682 00:41:07,599 --> 00:41:08,079 Speaker 2: And play? 683 00:41:09,039 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 8: The figure, said to be approximately two point one three 684 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,440 meters in height, reportedly appeared near the former judges bench. 685 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,280 While PSII has not yet released the image publicly, they 686 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,440 have indicated it will form part of their ongoing documentation. 687 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,840 At the time of writing, we have not seen the 688 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:31,280 reported image, but remain interested in reviewing any materials made available. 689 00:41:31,679 --> 00:41:35,239 While Lismore is known for its deep historical roots, including 690 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:39,280 its ecclesiastical and legal past, there is limited officially released 691 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,559 documentation of paranormal activity at the site. 692 00:41:43,159 --> 00:41:46,559 Speaker 10: Hi, it's Pja here from Kukovogue Paranormal.

Just over in that 719 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,119 direction you'll find dun Leary. Over to the side here 720 00:43:18,199 --> 00:43:21,599 you'll find Monkstown. This is a really really beautiful part 721 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,079 of South Dublin and the Dunleary roth Down County Council area. 722 00:43:25,639 --> 00:43:28,360 But these houses behind me here actually have a very 723 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,400 dark history and you wouldn't think it. With the birds 724 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,679 singing the trees here, the seagulls overhead. We've had plenty 725 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,920 of children cycling by. It's the lovely area. But houses one, 726 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,960 three and five are said to have been tormented by 727 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:50,679 a poltergeist for many years. Collectors of this story there 728 00:43:50,679 --> 00:43:54,440 were two collectors, Desmond O'Connor who was from black Rock 729 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:59,119 and a gentleman from Monkstown Farm called Edward Noble Coffee, 730 00:43:59,519 --> 00:44:02,400 and they continue to repeat over and over in their 731 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,719 account that these accounts of poultrygeist activity can be proven 732 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:11,039 by various witnesses. It's also said that in house number 733 00:44:11,079 --> 00:44:13,920 three there was an old woman living there and at 734 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,519 about eleven thirty at night, she heard a voice telling 735 00:44:17,559 --> 00:44:20,559 her to stop rushing her hair and that she was 736 00:44:20,599 --> 00:44:24,840 going to die alone in an asylum. And four years later, 737 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,880 allegedly that is exactly what happened. But in all three houses, 738 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,320 like I said, there was poultrygeist activity, and the people 739 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,199 living there would hear dressers jumping up from the floor 740 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,920 and smashing back down again. They would also see black 741 00:44:41,079 --> 00:44:45,519 cats making their way underneath the doors, even though the 742 00:44:45,559 --> 00:44:49,159 doors were seal shut and locked in some cases. 743 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:51,599 Speaker 5: Theirs. 744 00:44:51,639 --> 00:44:53,559 Speaker 12: What I would absolutely love to do is go and 745 00:44:53,599 --> 00:44:55,519 knock on some of these doors and ask them if 746 00:44:55,519 --> 00:44:59,960 they've experienced any poltrgeist activity. But I'm not quite sure 747 00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:02,960 or what sort of response I would guess, so maybe 748 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:03,760 I should leave it. 749 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,280 Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, a couple of things over the years. But 750 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,199 I've learned, well I don't. I suppose it's not learned. 751 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,199 I've just become accustomed to it. And I think it's 752 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,519 kind of it's it's maybe it's another sense or something. 753 00:45:16,599 --> 00:45:18,280 But often when you go into places, you'll get a 754 00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,159 feeling for the place, and you'll get a feeling of 755 00:45:20,519 --> 00:45:23,239 whether or not it's comfortable. And whatever cause is that, 756 00:45:23,559 --> 00:45:26,800 who knows what causes that. But we have an intuition. 757 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,320 We have an inbuilt intuition. I can't describe what it 758 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,559 is or where it comes from, or the physics of 759 00:45:31,599 --> 00:45:33,880 it or the chemistry of it, but it's there. And 760 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,519 anybody will will tell you to stick with your intuition. 761 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,199 If you think something doesn't feel right, then don't hang around. 762 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:46,679 Speaker 7: Superb advice from regular contributor to scary Er David McGlynn 763 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:51,079 aka the Squire, and don't hang around either.

I'm recording this at eight twenty 769 00:46:12,639 --> 00:46:16,519 four am on the twenty second of August, which is 770 00:46:16,559 --> 00:46:19,199 a day or two since I'd spoke to you on this. 771 00:46:19,559 --> 00:46:22,480 Because I've been editing away. A couple of things have happened. 772 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,679 Toothache has got worse. I mean I was up at 773 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,800 four am this morning with it, so I'm battling as on. 774 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,480 But Mark Johnson from Paranormal Radio UK was in touch 775 00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,199 just yesterday saying what's the story. We haven't had a 776 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,599 show from you in younks and I said great Mark, 777 00:46:40,159 --> 00:46:42,760 I was wondering where you guys were, So I'm on board. 778 00:46:43,039 --> 00:46:46,079 Mark said thumbs up. Do it? So, yeah, I intend to. 779 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,760 Now before I go, here is a little historical piece 780 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,960 you're going to listen to. Date it from nineteen eighty five. 781 00:46:53,079 --> 00:46:56,360 I mentioned it earlier. It concerns a family who were 782 00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,400 in a council house in County Longford in nineteen eighty five. 783 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,480 Now it's in the public domain, but if anybody has 784 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,320 an issue with it and they want to come forward, 785 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,559 I'm happy to credit them. You're going to listen to it. 786 00:47:08,559 --> 00:47:13,039 It's a little bit of old dear landa encapsulated whatever 787 00:47:13,079 --> 00:47:17,800 happened to the Courtney family, whatever happened to father Bland 788 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,079 and his box of sand? Who knows what? Listen on. 789 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:29,039 Speaker 5: I heard a cracking care there to the forge, there 790 00:47:29,199 --> 00:47:35,519 to the beds, and it's heavy fluck and just like 791 00:47:35,559 --> 00:47:39,320 an animal chains. So I got to price down on 792 00:47:39,599 --> 00:47:40,239 snow good. 793 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 14: The church has been able to do very little to 794 00:47:43,039 --> 00:47:46,159 help Patrick and Mary Courtney. For a family who's always 795 00:47:46,199 --> 00:47:49,519 had problems materially, it now seems the spiritual world is 796 00:47:49,559 --> 00:47:52,639 against them too. They've been living without a toilet or 797 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,719 running water for more than four months. But for the Courtney's, 798 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,920 an old four birth caravan is heaven compared to the 799 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,800 hell they suffered in their council house. 800 00:48:01,519 --> 00:48:04,880 Speaker 5: I've been hearing this the whole live long time, from 801 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,840 the third night I went into that house up to 802 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,519 last summer that would pull it out. I a husband 803 00:48:10,519 --> 00:48:13,360 and a kids, has only heard it for about three 804 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,440 weeks to a month before deal left it. I would 805 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,559 not believe it in anywhere but when they heard it 806 00:48:18,599 --> 00:48:22,079 themselves they did believe it. I was telling them the truth. 807 00:48:22,119 --> 00:48:23,280 There was an ance there. 808 00:48:23,679 --> 00:48:26,079 Speaker 14: The Courtneys were very disappointed in the way the church 809 00:48:26,119 --> 00:48:28,880 handled their problem. They got no comfort at all from 810 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,639 the parish priest, Father Blant, who, when we called to 811 00:48:31,679 --> 00:48:35,159 see him, refused to talk to us. This is the 812 00:48:35,199 --> 00:48:39,039 house the Courtneys fled from number thirteen, Saint Matthew's Terrace. 813 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,760 The family have lived here since the house was first 814 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,880 built in nineteen seventy four. It's a county council house 815 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,760 for which the Courtneys paid twelve pounds a week. When 816 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,119 the pounding noise became unbearable, they approached the priests of 817 00:48:53,159 --> 00:48:53,679 the parish. 818 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,679 Speaker 5: The tall at ain was nothing to harm, as are anything, 819 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,119 but still I couldn't call but with it. It was 820 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,199 just getting the better of my mind the whole time, 821 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:07,679 praying in my mind the whole time is this flack 822 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,639 on and tump and and knock on, and then the 823 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,159 lights going on and off on one thing another. You know, 824 00:49:13,559 --> 00:49:15,000 I couldn't seek any longer. 825 00:49:16,039 --> 00:49:20,320 Speaker 14: So Patrick, Father Bland recommended that you put sand. 826 00:49:20,079 --> 00:49:21,639 Speaker 2: Outside the door. What was that about? 827 00:49:22,199 --> 00:49:22,559 Speaker 5: He told? 828 00:49:22,639 --> 00:49:24,599 Speaker 15: He told me that he got a bag of stand 829 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:28,840 just to watch that for building and say the back 830 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,559 door of the bag and not a step if you 831 00:49:32,599 --> 00:49:34,199 wanted to be He said he wanted to go out 832 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:39,079 they jump jump, but he didn't do it because he 833 00:49:39,159 --> 00:49:42,280 partly guess what he wanted for he want and he 834 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:47,119 wanted to settle it like that because people to take 835 00:49:47,199 --> 00:49:48,920 san and doy. 836 00:49:50,199 --> 00:49:52,039 Speaker 14: What about the lights? The lights were going on and 837 00:49:52,079 --> 00:49:54,119 off as well, on and off. 838 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:55,519 Speaker 5: In the back room. Now I couldn't keep the light 839 00:49:55,599 --> 00:49:58,079 but off. Father was for off the light himself. And 840 00:49:58,159 --> 00:50:00,639 still he denied that Father bland. He did put it 841 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:01,840 every pot and at all. 842 00:50:02,639 --> 00:50:06,400 Speaker 4: I heard it about three weeks after a Mommy. 843 00:50:06,119 --> 00:50:06,840 Speaker 2: And Daddy heard it. 844 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,800 Speaker 14: And what was your reaction with you've frightened by it? 845 00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:12,480 Speaker 2: I was right. 846 00:50:14,519 --> 00:50:18,519 Speaker 14: And had you been skeptical all along that your mother 847 00:50:18,599 --> 00:50:21,440 was hearing this noise in the first place here? And 848 00:50:21,519 --> 00:50:22,360 what did it sound like? 849 00:50:23,119 --> 00:50:25,840 Speaker 4: Founder and tramping our feet and knocking on the doors 850 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,440 and the delphone in the beds and beside it. 851 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 14: The Courtney's neighbors in Saint Matthew's Terrace are now expecting 852 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,320 a new family to move into number thirteen. They're due 853 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:36,400 to arrive this week. 854 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,639 Speaker 16: I think there is something in it because the parish 855 00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,079 Christ came down several times to pray in the house, 856 00:50:44,079 --> 00:50:47,239 and when the priests were there was no sound at all, 857 00:50:47,679 --> 00:50:49,599 and when he was fune the sound was there. 858 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:50,840 Speaker 2: And they lived. 859 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,039 Speaker 16: And I had shed for three weeks out of the water 860 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:59,320 in the cold at night and nexting, and I still 861 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,280 said there is some Christ will comment on it. 862 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:03,719 Speaker 5: Have you been in the house? 863 00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:05,119 Speaker 2: No, I have. I wouldn't. 864 00:51:06,119 --> 00:51:08,639 Speaker 5: A lot of people were saying that they left the 865 00:51:08,679 --> 00:51:10,840 house because of the rent, and as far as I know, 866 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,480 the rent was paid up to day m. 867 00:51:15,079 --> 00:51:16,679 Speaker 2: I wouldn't live in the house, so that not. 868 00:51:17,679 --> 00:51:19,159 Speaker 14: So what do you want the counselor to do for 869 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:19,639 you now? 870 00:51:20,599 --> 00:51:24,320 Speaker 5: Well, if they supply me were to mobile home or 871 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:28,519 a large caravan myself, my husband and two children, I'd 872 00:51:28,559 --> 00:51:31,000 agree to check it from them. But if they don't, 873 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,960 well I checked my house. I have to hold my 874 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:35,840 brother's caravan. 875 00:51:36,559 --> 00:51:39,199 Speaker 14: So you're prepared to stay here if they If they don't, 876 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,239 have they objected to you parking the caravan. 877 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,599 Speaker 5: Here, Well, I've heard nothing so far from them. Now. 878 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,119 I've got no letters now to move or anything, but 879 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:50,079 if to do, i'd know. 880 00:51:50,119 --> 00:51:53,519 Speaker 14: What to move Longford County Council have so far not 881 00:51:53,599 --> 00:51:56,199 approached the Courtney's about the site of their caravan, which 882 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,239 was loaned to them by Mary's brother, but their position 883 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,559 on number three Dean Say Matthew's terrace is very clear. 884 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,360 Speaker 17: We did provide a house for the Courtneys, they left 885 00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:09,760 it voluntarily and as such I think we will consider 886 00:52:10,159 --> 00:52:13,280 that for the foreseeable future. Anyway, we wouldn't see them 887 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:14,559 as being eligible for rehousing. 888 00:52:15,199 --> 00:52:17,599 Speaker 18: One of the suggestions they make themselves is that the 889 00:52:17,639 --> 00:52:20,079 councilor should provide them with a mobile home or some 890 00:52:20,199 --> 00:52:22,719 kind of a caravan in which they could live in permanently, 891 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,519 because they've said they will not go into any house again. 892 00:52:26,159 --> 00:52:27,880 Speaker 14: Is that feasible from your point of view at all? 893 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,199 Speaker 17: No, I don't think it is, because this would be 894 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,679 a retrograde step in the sense that we endeavor as 895 00:52:33,679 --> 00:52:36,480 far as possible to provide permanent accommodation for people who 896 00:52:36,519 --> 00:52:39,480 need houses, and tis only as a last resort that 897 00:52:39,559 --> 00:52:42,519 we would ever or even in an emergency case, that 898 00:52:42,559 --> 00:52:45,039 we would ever dream of providing a mobile home or 899 00:52:45,159 --> 00:52:48,159 caravan or such accommodation. We believe as a council in 900 00:52:48,159 --> 00:52:50,239 providing permanent accommodation for those who need it. 901 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 14: Meanwhile, the Courtneys are staying put without a house, without 902 00:52:54,519 --> 00:52:56,760 running water, and without very much home. 903 00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:01,119 Speaker 5: I'd never go through the same again in anyhouse as 904 00:53:01,119 --> 00:53:01,880 I went through. 905 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 1: Down from Mark Manning and Scary Era.
