  2. The Haunted Coach

    Share Share Post
    Every night at twelve o clock the coach is seen going down the streets of Clifden. There are four horses have no heads and the driver has no head also. On Christmas night it goes around with lights on it and bells on the horses. The Coach comes in the Galway road and goes out the same road. It makes very little noise going down the street. All you hear is the bells on the horses.
