  1. A Strange Apparition

    Share Share Post
    Not far distant from Finnahalla there is a place in which a man named Mr John O'Sullivan lived.
    This man was very much interested in card-playing. One night he went playing cards and on his return home he met a black-man on the road.
    The black-man went towards him and hit him with his fist on the face. The man who was assaulted went to the priest and informed him of the previous night's happenings.
    The priest advised him to go to a foreign land.
