  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    In olden times there once lived in Augheygault a witch woman who took the good of a farmers milk. One morning he watched for her and found her in his field in the form of a hare. He charged his gun with silver and fired at her. He wounded her leg. Then he tracked the blood to her house and found her sitting in it. She was in a form of a woman and her leg was bleeding.
