- I live near Kilnanare, a place to which a ghost story is attached to. It happened about thirty years ago. In the surrounding lands there lived a family by the name of Mannix's.
In the town land of Kilnanare, there is a burial ground. It is said that there was a big grey wall in the middle of the grounds. _______was supposed to grow______A forget-me-not was supposed to grow from one side of the wall and climb down the other and form a knot like a flower on a stone named "True-lovers-stone.
A man of the Mannix's family went to the burial ground one day and accidently he cut the forget-me-not. It was said that when his son and daughter were born that their middle toes were stuck together.
