  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    There was once a man living in Ormsby's of Ballinmore. He was called Black Anthony because he was very mean to people. After his death the priest said from the Alter that Black Anthony was burning in chains of fire in Hell. Then Ormsby heard it and he invited the Priest to his house. The Priest cam an Ormsby asked him how did he know that Black Anthony was burning in chains of fire in Hell. The Priest started reading out of a book and while he was reading Black Anthony came and sat beside him burning in chains of fire. The Priest said to Ormsby he is there now and put him out of it if you are able. Ormsby had to shut the door then and it is never opened since that.
