  1. Old Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    (1) There is an old graveyard in Colhoun's field of Ballelaghan about 1 1/2 mile from Malin town. The mounds of the old graves are still to be seen. Thomas Fulton (about 80 years) of Ballelaghan remembers people being buried there.
    (2) An old graveyard was in the middle of a field in the Isle of Doagh. The owners of the field thought it a pity to waste this ground so they commenced to dig it up.
    A voice from the ground warned them not to continue, but they refused to be advised.
    The hair fell from both their heads and they were bald till the day they died.
