  1. A Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    One night a man named Patrick Ward was coming home from Donegal.
    When he came near Tommie Bustard’s house he saw a very old black man near the house.
    When he came up to the old man he disappeared into a wall.
    The man ran in after him to see where he had gone. When he went to the wall there was nothing there.
    He now knew that it was a ghost that he had seen.
    He ran out again and the black man ran out before him. Then the ghost disappeared into a hedge.
    There was always a ghost seen at this house.
