  1. Local Story

    Share Share Post
    One day a man named Mr, John Diggins when into Lislaughtin Abbey and shot a rabbit which was supposed to be a human being.
    The hand which he shot the rabbit with rotted off him immediately.
    Then he died about two weeks after and he was buried in the Abbey.
    This story was told to me by my grand-father.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
