Springhill House - Northern Ireland

Springhill House is a 17th century plantation house in the townland of balindrum near moneymore in northern ireland, with history of the house going back to around 340 years, there is not a shortage of paranormal phenomena at this location. The famous ghost of Spring Hill isn’t as ancient as the house, but is a good two hundred years more recent. During the Regency period, the owner of the house was Colonel George Lenox-Conyngham. The colonel served in the Irish Volunteers under Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh. According to legend, Conyngham received word that his children had been stricken with smallpox. Once arriving home he had learnt the news of the death of one of his daughters, in grief and depression he took his own life with one pistol shot. Although it was George who experienced the sudden death that is often the precursor for a ghostly existence, it is Olivia (Georges wife) who haunts Spring Hill.  And it seems, poor lady, she is reliving the moments prior to her husband’s suicide, when she was but seconds away from preventing such a tragedy. The Blue Room, where the suicide took place, is the most haunted in the manor.  Multiple family members and guests have seen her apparition standing at the door of the Blue Room, her hands raised in anguish. Others have seen her dashing to the doorway, only to throw her arms up with a heart rending look of hopelessness. So… who would stay a night alone in this house?
