    Story.
    Skerries, Co. Dublin.
    Long ago a man was murdered on a certain road in Skerries. The murderer of the man was never found and the murder remained a mystery. Once a man was driving his horse up the road where the man was murdered. When the horse reached that road he refused to go by. The driver had to get down and lead him past the road.
