  1. A Story of a Hag

    Share Share Post
    About fifty years ago there was said to be an old hag living in a bog in Ballincrossig Causeway.
    The people living near where she lived used to see her getting milk from the branch of a tree while their own cows had but very little milk
    The name they called her was Long Tooth because she had very long teeth in the front of her mouth. A black cat was always seen with the hag and it is said that it was this black cat that killed her.
