Irish Ghosthunters in Cong, Co. Mayo, Ireland, July 2010
During an overnight paranormal investigation at the Quiet Man Heritage Centre in Cong village, Tim and Keith are taking some emf readings in a corner of the building with some original Quiet Man artefacts. When the trifield meter gives high reading they are intrigued. What could be in that antique box that might result in such readings?
Cong Abbey (From The 7th Century)
Achill Historical Society visit to Cong Abbey 06.09.2015.
In the early 7th century, a church was built at this site, reportedly by Saint Feichin. A later building was destroyed by fire in 1114. Within the next twenty years or so, Turlough Mor O’Connor, the High King of Ireland, refounded the abbey. Raiders from Munster destroyed the buildings in 1137 but they were rebuilt by King Turlough.
In 1198, his son, Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair (Rory O'Connor), Ireland's last High King, constructed new buildings and also lived the last 15 years of his life at the abbey. He died here and was reportedly briefly buried in the abbey before being exhumed and re-interred at Clonmacnoise.[1] The monastery adopted the Augustinian rule some years later.[citation needed]
Cong Abbey was also closely associated with the O'Duffy family at least from 1097 to 1501. The Annals of the Four Masters record that in 1150, Muireadhach Ua Dubhthaigh, Archbishop of Connacht, died at Cong aged 75. His name is inscribed upon the processional Cross of Cong.
The Norman knight, William de Burgh, attacked Cong in 1203, and again the abbey was rebuilt.
In the 13th century the abbey was reconstructed and dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary. Cong Abbey was suppressed in 1542 during the reign of Henry VIII. Although it was at times used by monks after that point, it later fell into ruins.
The last (nominal) abbot was Father Patrick Prendergast, parish priest of Cong from 1795 until his death in 1829. He was the preserver of the Cross of Cong. After his death, the cross was bought by James MacCullagh for the Royal Irish Academy.
The first restoration of the abbey was started by Benjamin Guinness in 1855, soon after he had bought nearby Ashford Castle in 1852.

Haunting History of ~Clifden Castle~County Galway~ Ireland
Clifden is a coastal town in County Galway, Ireland, in the region of Connemara, located on the Owenglin River where it flows into Clifden Bay.
Clifden Castle is a ruined manor house west of the town of Clifden in the Connemara region of County Galway, Ireland. It was built c. 1818 for John D'Arcy, the local landowner, in the Gothic Revival style,but went into decline during the Great Famine of 1845.The house fell into ruin and was stripped bare of anything that could be sold by the locals in order to feed themselves ...
The castle is said to be haunted by the spirits of the poor and deprived who sheltered in the castle grounds during the blight.
John D’Arcy died in 1839. At the time of his death, John’s ambition had been achieved. Clifden was then the headquarters for the coastguard and police force for the district. It had a bridewell and before long there would be a courthouse and workhouse. The town was thriving and the economic benefits to the region were becoming clear as more land in the neighbourhood was brought under cultivation and agricultural production increased to supply the growing market.
Throughout the years of the Great Famine, Clifden became the centre for administering relief in Connemara. The town witnessed many painful scenes during this time, as the streets filled with starving people desperately seeking work, food or charity, and when these were exhausted, access to the workhouse. Many houses in the town became tenements to house those who had abandoned their holdings so as to become eligible for relief, creating a breeding ground for cholera that reached epidemic proportion in 1849. When one takes in to account the inmates of the workhouse and the jail, Clifden was the only townland in the parish to show a sizable increase in population in the 1851 census.
The Famine affected all classes and ultimately caused the ruin of the D’Arcy family. Hyacinth D’Arcy, John’s son and heir, was forced to sell the town, along with the rest of the D’Arcy estates, in the 1850s. Thomas and Charles Eyre of Bath, England, eventually purchased the Clifden estate for £21,245. Representatives of the new landlords would live on at Clifden Castle until the close of the 19th century.
It took years to recover from the Great Famine and there was periodic crop failure and times of hardship in the years that followed.
Uninhabited after 1894 it fell into disrepair. In 1935, ownership passed to a group of tenants, who were to own it jointly, and it quickly became a ruin.
One of the interesting features of this property are the standing stones. D'Arcy had these stones erected to mimick other standing stones around Ireland. Today little remains of the house but its shell. You can walk through the house through an entrance through the back garden, as the front entrance is inaccessible because of a steep drop into the structure.

Everyday Life
I put this together in 2001 as a show reel. At the time I
thought I would become a wildlife film maker making high quality
wildlife documentaries about Ireland's amazing wildlife. That did not
happen mainly because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and
broadcasting politics. Such is life. I wanted this piece to illustrate
the value of our natural heritage in a world that is becoming
increasingly detached from it.

In the year 1066, 7,000 Norman infantry and knights sailed in warships across the English Channel. Their target: England, home to more than a million people. Around the same period of time, other groups of Normans were setting forth all across Europe. Who were these warriors, and how did they leave their mark so far and wide? Mark Robinson shares a brief history of the Normans.
