  1. A Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    One night a man was going through a field in Quilca. He was coming from his Ceílide and it was a very dakk dark foggy night. He was crossing the fields and he could not find his way. There was a dangerous river in the field. He saw someone coming towards him. The person told the man that there was a river in the field and then the person disappeared. Then the man turned back and and went up to a bog and fell asleep. In the dawn he got up and went home and he never went out late at night again.
