Springhill House

Springhill House

Springhill House, located in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, was built in the 17th century by the Lenox-Conyngham family. This Plantation-era home has witnessed centuries of history, including the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and the Williamite War. The house gained notoriety in 1814 when George Lenox-Conyngham committed suicide in the Blue Room, an event that would contribute to its haunted reputation.

Visitors and staff have reported numerous ghostly encounters at Springhill. The most frequently sighted apparition is that of Olivia Lenox-Conyngham, wife of George. She is often seen in period dress, wandering the corridors or standing at windows, seemingly searching for her husband. Some witnesses claim to have heard her footsteps echoing through the house.

The Blue Room, where George took his life, is a hotspot for paranormal activity. People have reported feeling an oppressive atmosphere, sudden temperature drops, and an overwhelming sense of sadness. Some guests have even claimed to see a male figure in 19th-century clothing in this room.

In the nursery, the sound of children playing and laughing has been heard when the room was empty. Staff members have reported toys moving on their own and the distinct feeling of being watched. The Governor’s Room is another area of interest, with reports of a spectral man in military uniform standing by the window.

The grounds of Springhill are not exempt from ghostly activity. A phantom horse-drawn carriage has been seen approaching the house, only to vanish as it nears the entrance. Visitors have also reported seeing shadowy figures moving among the trees in the surrounding woods at dusk.
