True Story
“Many years ago in the town land go Prucklish, Co. Donegal, an old lady was walking in a field.”
Many years ago in the town land of Prucklish, Co Donegal, an old lady was walking in a field. Suddenly a little baby appeared to her and spoke.
It told her it was a angel from heaven. It also arranged a meeting for the next night. The old lady told her priest before the next night. The priest told her to go to the spot and make a circle around the child with a little Holy Water. She did as she was instructed. The child re-appeared but did not speak, but disappeared in a flame of light. - Collector
