  1. The Fairy Light

    Share Share Post
    This story was told to me by a man named Eddie Connaghan. He is about forty years of age and lived in the townland of Ownagadragh [Parish of Donaghmore]. He said that there used to be a light seen in the mountain of Ownagadragh. This was supposed to be fairies. It was seen for a long time but it was seen in the winter. This light is not seen now.
