Churchill and Gartan County Donegal
Churchill and Gartan County Donegal. Churchill is a small village located 8 miles form Donegal's main town, Letterkenny. The name derives from its location on top of a small hilltop. There are 3 traditional style Irish pubs in the village - a fast disappearing sight in modern Ireland!
Just to the north of Churchill the River Lennon runs into the beautiful Lough Gartan. Gartan is the birthplace of Colmcille - one of the foremost Irish Saints who founded the famous monastery on the Isle of Iona in Scotland. The Colmcille Heritage Centre on the shores of Lough Gartan celebrates his life and work. Nearby is the Glebe Gallery which contains the renowned Derek Hill Collection of Victorian and 20th century art works.
Gartan Outdoor Pursuits Centre is situated on the shores of Loch Gartan and is a very popular destination for adventure holiday enthusiasts.

SHARON RECTORY THE RETURN, PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION, CO, DONEGAL, LIFE AFTERLIFE TV PRODUCTIONS.
Sharon Rectory in Co, Donegal has been one of our recent paranormal Locations with thanks to Sharon Rectory and Peninsula Paranormal Group, this house changed us as Paranormal Investigatiors and the way we carry out investigations. Usually we would arrive with cases upon cases of scientific equipment and measuring devices, but on thetwo times we have been here, alot of that equipment just stayed in the cases. From the first investigation we learned that what was important about this location was audio and visual. From the first investigation we learned not to over depend on equipment and i think the key here is observation.
Sharon Rectory is an on going investigation by its owners to collect data from all the different paranormal investigators over a long length of time to try and form a picture of what exactly is the cause of the paranormal events inside this home. What we found out about this location is that it produces EVPs and actual voices which the human eat can hear which is amazing. Also we found the cellar to be one of the most active places producing footstep like sounds and knockings on responce or request. For us as investigators, this location have been our most active location to date and it learned us alot about investigating the paranormal, lession we can bring forward to future investigations.
