  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    About twenty years ago there was a man ploughing a field in Gransha. The plough hit a rock and he could not get the plough past the rock. There was two men working in the field (nest) next to his he called them to help him to take away the rock. When they took away the rock there was a skeleton under it. The man that owned the field was John Mac Carron.
    The skeleton was white when they lifted the rock but when the air got at it it turned very dark. About three days after they covered it up again.
