  1. The Headless Coach

    Share Share Post
    There were two men coming from Killorglin one night about 12 oc. and they heard a terrible noise coming down the road
    When it came near they saw two horses without any heads pulling a car
    The driver had a big hat One of them said to the other that they Shouldn't be on the road before it. They went inside a gate that was on the side of the road. They left it pass and as it passed the road was shaking under it
    They came out and they didn't see or hear it any more.
