Donegal Ghost Stories?

i was always really skeptical about things like this, I'd be more into believing time time travel or posthuman concepts than anything spiritual. BUT when you feel and experience thing you kinda go ...hmmm what if...
i live in an old house in killybegs that wasn't always a house. There's one room in it that is just 'uncomfortable'. The cats rarely go into it and it's their behaviour that twigged me to the 'feeling' in the room.
First off it 100% impossible to sleep in it. You just wont sleep and any guests that stay always report bad nights sleep and vivid dreams, as well as the feeling of being woken up by somebody standing over you,and i never mention anything about it before. so its not a kind of psychosomatic response.
second is the odd floral/sweet rotting smell that is in it. it's not an organic smell like wood or mold or grass...but a cloying, hard to describe smell. it comes and goes and varies in intensity. not from season to season, as if it was something to do with dampness or air temperature.
yes its an old house and the wind can probably be attributed to all the doors closing and creaking etc, but several times on perfectly calm and still days the door to that room bangs shut. you can put a heater on all day but it wont ever get comfortably warm. the air may be warm but it has a feeling like putting on really cold clothes.
I've noticed that the cats, when they do go in which is rare ive noticed them 'paying attention' and bobbing their heads to nothing. like facing away fro me they act like someone is dangling a necklace or whatever .sometimes they walk by and pop their heads in and suddenly get spooked, hiss(and i NEVER hear them hiss at anything, even other strangers cats)and bolt away from the room. one of them kind of 'barked' and growled when i brought him near it(i dont make a habit of it, i just wanted to see what was up!) and would run from our bedroom to the front room in record speed for ages after, never going near the room again.
now the two things that probably sound like hogwash, but im being 100% honest here.
about 4-5 months after moving in i was using the room for storage, and to maybe throw off my coat or shoes etc. one day i was home after a walk down the town and i threw my bag onto the bed and took some stuff out of it. it was up by the headboard of the bed, in a kind of 'nest' of a folded up duvet., a good 6-7 foot from the END of the bed, not the side or anything.there really isn't any way it could have tumbled or fell off the bed, and if it did it would have rolled off to the side, not roll the 10-15 times it took to go off the end of the bed, over a foot high footboard and the two foot to go lie at the skirting board i went back into the living room and although still hot from the walk home, it was summer, i felt a total chill over me and about 10 mins later there was a noise. i hadn't any cats at the time and went to see what it was...the bag, a heavy leather bag was on the floor at the end of the bed. the smell of the room was really strong and it was cold, i got this feeling of dread come over me, it was a strong and encompassing feeling of fear and depression. I got scared (and i am not easily scared) and turned on music loud, and had the lights on...i kept having this urge to go back into the room and kept turning my head to look at it...now of course it can be 100% down to my mind playing tricks, but it was such an odd and powerful feeling i can't explain it properly.

the next thing happened about 2 months after and with it came the same feeling of dread, so i wont go with that, but it was stronger than before. i was having a shower at night, in the house alone except for the cats. one of them nudged his way into the bathroom and kept meowing at me, and he is a pretty silent cat (except when its breakfast time) but he had been well fed, he just kept meowing at me and looking towards the door. kind of bobbing his head and looking at something. i felt a chill over me and , i am not making this up, i promise, the sound of rustling paper like a big broadsheet paper when someing is snapping it and flipping the pages. it wasnt the sound of water from the shower, i turned it off and called out for my girlfriend's name, who was in work, the noise stopped. i got pretty freaked and got out and dressed in record time. same feeling of dread etc, and had the strongest feeling to just get out.
i came back an hour later before my girlfriend was home and was brave enough then(yes i know!) to open the door...inside there was a small pool of water on the floor and that was it. just a small pool about the size of a saucer on the floor. absolutely no splash marks , no signs of anything leaking, nothing in there to have caused it to spill...of coure youd think 'oh your cat just peed in the room) but they dont do that and if they did there you would see rivulets of it and splashes, also there is no way they could have gotten in and out of the room and closed the door.
plus it was water, not cat urine, which stinks, it was like water you would get off a wet stone with lichen on it, kinda 'oily' and it was 'wetter' than water, if that makes sense. about a month after that i went to get a book out of a drawer i kept books in, i hadnt read this for ages and wanted to reference something, and noticed that the pages were all damp and 'oily' but the cover and the books above and below were not affected. the book was pretty old too. there is zero dampness in that oom and no vermin that could have gotten in and soiled the floor and book.
there have been other minor instances, including a friend who got totally freaked out, and i had been mindful not to mention anything about this to her, and was in a right state after being left there for 2-3 hrs alone. she kept saying that she felt someone was watching her and the cats kept looking past her shoulder( which would be out the door towards the room as she was sitting on the sofa) she had dreams that night of being really sad and being lost and cold. the other things are taps and clicks...kind like a metallic clicking back and forward, the door opening it self and banging shut, the sound that someone makes when they are reciting a prayer or something silently and their lips mildly 'smacking' ...you can hear that clearly sometimes but its impossible to hear what is being 'said'...all these times the smell is very noticeable. im here over a year now and have researched and researched explanations for these things but like i said, experiencing them is one thing.
sorry for the essay there but that's whats the craic here! its <SNIP> i live in btw.

Mod edit: Identity of property removed as we have no way of knowing who lives there.

Where exactly is this haunted house situated on the Fintra side of Killybegs???? I have been looking for an exact address for this house for ages. Can you post an address for me?

I remember the ghost story involving the Owencarrow viaduct train crash. In 1925 a train crash occurred on the line at the viaduct crossing near Creeslough,a strong gust of wind blew the train over the viaduct killing 4 people .One of those died was a woman. The image of a old woman was spotted by my Mother and at least 4 other people .She would walk to the spot where the train crash happened then she would walk across the viaduct and follow the line over the hill. My mother and others say it was the woman that died in that crash. This woman was spotted a number of times . She was dressed in old style clothes from the 1920s and was wearing a headscarf, she was also seen holding rosary beads. Any body else know of this story

I also know of the ghost story at Owencarrow viaduct. This woman has been seen many times since that accident. My Mother is from that area and has seen this woman at least 3 times when she was younger. The woman use to walk to the viaduct and stand above the spot where the slab of stone fell on top of the woman .My Mother to this day tells me the woman was Ms Mulligan who died in the accident. I have heard this story from at least five different people over the years

Any little stories or myths?
