More Ulster Ghosts.
Haunted Farm House.
Mysterious Fusilades of Stones.
The Police Baffled.
(Special Telegram) Belfast, Friday.
An extraordinary affair is reported from Mullaghmena, a country district, about two miles from Omagh, Co. Tyrone. It is alleged that the dwelling-house of an extensive farmer in that locality is under the spell of some evil or uncanny spirit during the past week. Approaching midnight for a number of nights recently, it is stated, stones hustle about the dwellinghouse and street, and find their way into the living apartments in some mysterious way, the windows and doors being closed. The inmates are naturally very much alarmed.
The county constabulary have been communicated with, and although a strong patrol was placed on the district for several nights past, they could make nothing of the matter, although they were present when the stones began their airy flight, and fell into the house and about the street. One of the policemen who was present at the time says it would be impossible to state where they came from.
At the same hour every night the inmates are awakened from their slumbers by queer noises, and immediately after the stones commence to fall. All the people in the district are terrified, and will not pass the house after night, but prefer to take a much longer route to their homes. Although the police have been very vigorous in their investigations they have not been able to obtain the slightest clue which might unravel the mystery.
