Coalisland ain't afraid of no ghosts!
GHOSTBUSTING is the new phenomenon sweeping Coalisland.
Ghoulish encounters on a lonely Coalisland Road have led to convoys of ghost-hunters camping out in cars at night in the hope of glimpsing a supernatural being.
In the past six weeks there have been dozens of sightings of a mysterious 'white lady' in a hollow of the Mullaghmoyle Road, where a rambling farmhouse lies in ruins.
However, rather than setting locals into a panic, the sightings of the apparition have generated such excitement that visitors from all over Tyrone are flocking to the site. Up to fifty cars have been spotted on the road at midnight for successive nights this week.

Ryan Bell, who lives close to the ruined house, claimed he has seen the ghost more than twenty times.
"I was freaked out the first time I saw her, but now I'm getting used to it. It looks like an old small woman with a shining white cape.
"When you drive by the run-down house, the figure emerges from the trees and crosses the road in front of you before coming to a halt in the same place each time.
"It's definitely a creepy experience. You can only see the profile of her face but she appears sad."
Even in daylight, when this Tyrone Times reporter visited the scene, the ruined house had a chilly air, with its dank crumbling walls still bearing scorch marks.
Broken doors creaked in the wind and branches scratched against the collapsed roof. No birds chirped in the trees.
Though the lane was churned with fresh car tracks, the house itself appeared to be untouched for years.
