COALISLAND, Northern Ireland, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Paranormal investigators are flocking to a Northern Ireland village after locals reported dozens of encounters with a ghost known as the "white lady."
The apparition has been the subject of dozens of reported sightings during the past six weeks near the ruins of a farmhouse just outside the village of Coalisland, The Daily Mail reported Friday.
Villagers described the purported ghost as an old lady with a sad expression, but none have been able to give any details about the woman's face.
Locals said up to 60 parked cars loaded with ghost hunters hoping for a glimpse of the white lady have lined the sides of the road near where the sightings were reported at midnight.
Warren Coates, of the Northern Ireland Paranormal Research Association, speculated that the ghost may be the spirit of a woman who died in a car accident in the area.
However, some were more skeptical of the paranormal claims.
"If you ask me, it's more likely to be a reflection of the moon on the river that flows through the area. Although the talk is that what was seen was in the shape of a person," said Desmond Donnelly, a Sinn Fein councilor.

This one is an interesting one, the other day I was just sitting around discussing with some friends the concepts of ghosts and some interesting interactions happened. I find this can happen often, talk about Ghosts and some may try to communicate, it's natural I guess if they are hoping they will be noticed.
What happened was me and some friends were all discussing and exchanging some experiences last weekend back and forth related to previous haunted houses. Then the strangeness happened..
The TV turned off and back on.. We all giggled it off thinking it was just an electric surge rather than paranormal, then after checking other factors in the room, the electrics looked fine, okay so back to the discussion.. Then the TV turned off and back on again as the discussion happened again..
Later on as the discussion continued and we all started hearing small noises in the other room.. Lights flickered once as well.. In the end we stopped discussing this topic and all the events went back to normal.. This is what I refer to as BEING NOTICED BY GHOSTS WHEN DISCUSSING THEM..
"Have you ever had a similar experience with Ghosts..?"
