Quake
Location: Clogher - Rectory
Type: Haunting Manifestation
Date / Time: 24 December 1885 onwards
Further Comments: The rector wrote of a deep rumbling which manifested in the kitchen, like an earthquake, although no furnishings moved. The noise suddenly stopped, and was replaced by smashing crockery in the pantry. Together with his servants, the rector approached the pantry, but before reaching the door, it opened and a white woman emerged. Pursued by the rector, the white woman moved upstairs and vanished in front of the rector's son. The woman appeared several more times afterwards, but never so dramatically.
