  1. Jude and Joe

    Share Share Post
    My grandmother told me about a pair that lived on the Goresbridge road named Jude and Joe. Jude was always talking about fairies, and she told the people that she went with them on several trips.
    She told the people that the fairies used come in at night and the young ones wore red caps. She said that one night they asked her to go to France with them and she went. When she went to France they told her to go and borrow meal to make stirabout.
