  1. Cures

    Share Share Post
    There was a man living in Owey one time who had a cancer.
    This man used to go to a lot of places where there were cures trying to get cured. He also used to go to Doon Well but it was no good.
    On this way coming home he went into the Cruit Graveyard and made the stations and when he was coming out of the curragh after landing the cancer fell out and dropped to the bottom of the sea and it was in Cruit Graveyard this man was cured.
