    “Long ago Pat Walsh (Welsh) Oram, Castleblayney Co Monaghan was taking his horse from the grass.”

    Share Share Post
    Long ago Pat Walsh(Welsh) Oram, Castleblayney Co. Monaghan was taking his horse from the grass. He had his hands clasped round the halter, and resting behind his back. A fairy took the horse away and another fairy held on to the end of the halter; and when the man looked round, on reaching the stable, there was a fairy instead of a horse, on the end of the halter and immediately it disappeared.
