    “There is a ford near our house where Mass used to be celebrated long ago...”

    Share Share Post
    There is a ford near our house where Mass used to be celebrated long ago. There is a big high stone of limestone in the middle of the ford. There is a shallow hole in the middle of the stone and the old people said it was in that hole the holy water used to be kept. Any one would not know the place now only there is a wide deep hole there. When a person would pass the place they would see small children with white clothes but when they would see you they would disappear
