  1. Fort Story - A True Story

    Share Share Post
    John lynch (deceased) of Ballyhorgan Lixnaw, and Fr. Barry (U. S. A.) were one night going the short cut to Fr. Barry's house.
    They had to pass the fort - Black Fort - in Gentleman's land. As they were passing the ford they heard the beautiful music and laughing and shouting.
    They stood unable to move hand or foot. They felt they were stuck to the ground.
    Their hair stood on ends, and the entertainment in the fort continued.
    At dawn of day they were able to depart.
