‘Haunted house’ skull from 1700s

EXPERTS at Queens University Belfast have dated a skull discovered in a so-called haunted house to the late 1700s.

Gardaí sent the skull to be analysed at the university after it was discovered during renovations on the house in Co Cork a few days before Christmas.

The grim discovery was made by a man who purchased the Queen Anne-period house in Ballynoe just a few weeks earlier.
