  1. The Old School

    Share Share Post
    About six months after the old school was closed in Newcastle a man called Pat Feeney of Newcastle Who is now dead and was was returning from visit one night he heard great talk and music in the old school. "Bedad" said he to himself " ye have great fun in there ye boys." So he went to the door and knocked, just then the music stopped and five black-robed figures appeared. Each one groaned and said a curse and they disappeared.
