    Lightening will never do any harm within three miles of radius around it. Sometimes people leave Rosary beads behind them.
    There are trout in the well. People from the locality when going to America would take some of the water in bottles with them.
    No one ever uses the well water from household purpose. There is a plantation round the well and a lot of flowers. There is also a Celtic Cross there.
