    “One night long ago my father and another man were coming from Fenagh.”

    Share Share Post
    One night long ago my father and another man were coming home from Fenagh. It was a very stormy night and it was pouring rain.
    When they came to Edintenny they decided to go into some house for shelter. They came to a small thatched house. The man who was with my father opened the door of the house. It was pushed out in his face. He pushed it again and it was pushed out in his face again. The third time he pushed it in it was not pushed out.
    He went in and immediately ran out again. He did not stop running till he got home. My father went into the house. He could see nothing, and then he came home.
    The next day my father met the other man and asked him why he ran home
