The family say they were forced to flee
A home underwent an exorcism after a family were forced to flee due to disturbances reportedly caused by a poltergeist.
The Fahey family – parents Jackie and Ester, daughter Martha, son Michael, his fiancée Mary and Martha’s baby Sarah-Louise – lived in Corab during the 1990s.
After Sarah-Louise’s birth, the household was plagued by paranormal activity.
The disturbances ranged from peculiar odours and objects being moved or destroyed, to unexplained sounds and sudden temperature plunges.
What frightened the family most was that many of the bizarre occurrences appeared to originate in Sarah-Louise’s bedroom, reports Galway Beo.
One evening they heard her distressed cries coming from her room and rushed to check on her.
They discovered the infant sitting upright, surrounded by her soft toys arranged in a perfect circle.
The situation deteriorated to such an extent that the family eventually vacated the property, with Michael and a mate remaining behind.
The case attracted nationwide media coverage and ultimately the family secured help from professional para-psychologist Sandra Ramdhanie.
The Faheys took Sandra to the property and showed her Sarah-Louise’s bedroom, as this was where they suspected the majority of the haunting occurred.
Sandra claimed she uncovered that an infant had died in the dwelling a century earlier, claiming it was envious of the care which Sarah-Louise was getting and that was why it haunted the property, particularly her bedroom.
An exorcism was performed, with Sandra lighting candles and incense, urging the family to direct all their love towards the ghost baby.
The poltergeist departed from the house peacefully, restoring normalcy.
In a conversation with RTÉ at that time, Michael expressed: “Firm beliefs in any type of things to do with ghosts and poltergeists and I actually believe in the psychic part of it as well.”
