- Near my home , on the Manor Hamilton road is a large hill called the two -mile hill. No one knows why it is called so.probably because it is so long. Near the top is a tree with a thick brach on it. On a moonlight night the shape of the Cross and Our Lord on it , appears on it.If you saw it for the first time you would be badly frightened . A man hung himself on the branch and ever since the Cross appears on it . Above the branch is seen a rabbit ,but in the daytime neither Cross nor rabbit can be seen . People say it is a miracle.
