Just half a mile outside the village of Kilcormac lie the ruins of a once-inhabited house known as Temora. Formerly home to two families—the McCauleys and the Barrats—the property was eventually abandoned amid persistent reports of hauntings.

A housekeeper who worked for a resident doctor recounted numerous strange occurrences. Local accounts speak of a particularly wicked man who once lived in the house. After his death, his restless spirit is said to have tormented those within. A tall male figure was frequently seen—on the staircase, at the hall door, and wandering through various rooms of the house.

As the disturbances continued, someone reportedly sought help from a priest. The cleric is said to have confined the spirit to a large, dark room—where it remained trapped for many years.

In 1930, the house was destroyed by fire. In the aftermath, locals claimed to see a ghostly ball of fire drifting across the estate night after night, as if the spirit still lingered.
