  1. A Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    There is an ancient building in the parish of Maghercloone called Coolderry House. While one of the servants was asleep in bed he was suddenly awakened by a great noise. On awakening he felt a great weight upon him. That night a great hump grew on his back. This man is still living and the hump is to be seen still on his back.
