  1. The Leprechaun

    Share Share Post
    There is a house which is said to be haunted in Rahard Virginia Co. Cavan. The owners of the house had to leave it. At midnight the rooms where they were sleeping in the ghost would throw everything he could find in on the people who were asleep.
    One night the spirit threw a dresser and sideboards and tables and other different things on the sleepers and when they awoke they got it very hard to get from under the furniture. The people had to leave their lovely home.
