    “There was a church on the righthand side of the road as you are going into Michael Loftus' field”

    Share Share Post
    There was a church on the right hand side of the road as you are going into Michael Loftus' field. All the old people of the district used to go to Mass in it.
    When they were knocking it a white rat ran out and they heard a voice and it told them not to knock any more of it and from that day to this it was never disturbed.
