  1. A Local Legend

    Share Share Post
    In the village of Greyford there is a Fort, and there is a silver door leading into it. The door is under the ground. Not very long ago a drunken man passed by this Fort. He saw a light in it. He went in, and he was welcomed by the people inside. There was a corpse there, and (there) they were all crying. They asked him to go to Co. Mayo to tell their Relatives. They gave him a grey horse and he went. When the day dawned he was bringing potatoes from his own pit.
