The Cooneen Ghost House, located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, gained notoriety in the early 20th century for its alleged paranormal activity. Built in the late 1800s, the farmhouse became the center of unexplained phenomena in 1913 when the Murphy family moved in. The widowed Bridget Murphy and her six children reported experiencing strange occurrences shortly after settling into their new home.

The family claimed to hear mysterious knocking sounds, footsteps, and disembodied voices echoing throughout the house. Objects reportedly moved on their own, and beds shook violently during the night. Witnesses described seeing a spectral woman in white gliding through the rooms and vanishing into thin air. The most alarming incidents involved the children being lifted from their beds by unseen forces and thrown across the room.

As word spread about the haunting, crowds gathered outside the house to witness the paranormal activity. The local priest, Father Coyle, attempted to perform an exorcism but reportedly fled in terror when he encountered the supernatural presence. The Society for Psychical Research sent investigators to document the case, including renowned psychical researcher Harry Price.

The haunting intensified over time, with reports of furniture being overturned, dishes smashing against walls, and eerie music playing from unknown sources. Unable to cope with the relentless supernatural activity, the Murphy family eventually abandoned the house in 1915, seeking refuge with relatives in America. The Cooneen Ghost House has since remained a subject of fascination for paranormal enthusiasts and continues to be associated with ghostly legends in Irish folklore.
