  1. A Strange Story

    Share Share Post
    About 56 years ago a workman named John Jordan worked in a farm in Dromard. The farm is now and was then owned by Connelly. The workman got bitten by a mad dog. Afraid the madness would appear in the man, he was smothered by his friends between two ticks.
