    Share Share Post
    One night I head Patrick Quain of Bollyveahy to say that he was coming from the village of Ballyorgan. He went through fields coming home and he went astray. He was near his own house. He was rambling around the fields all night. When the cock crew in the morning he made his way home. It was about half past three in the morning. When he went home he said he had a terrible fright got. When the people of the house asked what happened him he said he went astray.
