Where Have All The Ghosts Gone?
Author: Gerry Anderson Source: Belfast Telegraph
Title: WHERE HAVE ALL THE GHOSTS GONE?
As a rule, I have never been much impressed by talk of the paranormal. Whenever folk raise the subject of ghosts, I usually reply that the nearest I've ever been to communing with them was once having a drink with Alex Higgins and Charlie Landsborough.
But I am not completely desensitized. There was a time when I was exposed to the Ways of the Old Folk. On a dark night while ruminating over the remnants of an expiring turf fire, my old uncle in Donegal would often hesitate in mid-sentence, cock a practiced ear and inform me, a timorous, fearful child, that the noise outside the window was indeed the wail of the Banshee. Nowadays such a howl would go unnoticed. One would merely assume that the people next door were watching Pop Idol.
There was also an anonymous spirit known as the Woman in White whom my uncle would occasionally point out when he and I were strolling home in the dark after attending some infernal fiddle-infested country gathering. The Woman in White would be seen wending her way across the bog with a lantern in her hand and, I would imagine, necessarily clad in the sturdiest of footwear. My uncle always claimed he'd spotted her and would grab my arm in the process of wheeling me round to a position from which I could spot her too. I never did see her.
