    “Once there was a great feast held in Ballymacaquim Castle.”

    Share Share Post
    Once there was a great feast held in Ballymacaquim Castle. While the feastings were going on, the guests heard great noise outside the Castle walls, like the trampling of horses' hoofs. Then suddenly, the door was burst open, and a headless body entered, stalked round the room and went out by the door it had come in, and then disappeared. That put an end to that night's revelry.
