  1. Lios an Phúca

    Share Share Post
    About a mile north of my house, there is a field, which is called Lios a Phúca, which means the "fort of the fairies" The owner of this place is Mr. Daniel McKenna.
    In days gone by a white pony used be seen at midnight coming out from Lios na Phúca. Anyone one that the pony would see out at midnight it is said that he would make him to on his back. Then the pony would gallop as fast as he could and do everything he could to throw off the person and kill him.
