    “The great-aunt of a pupil (Anna Moran) lives in a small farmhouse in Ballysax.”

    Share Share Post
    The great-aunt of a pupil (Anna Moran) lives in a small farmhouse in Ballysax. The woman relation who bequeated it to her told Peter Moran that a crock of gold was hidden under a corner stone of the house but that any attempt to find it brought death.
    I heard the story of the Wizard Earl of Kildare long ago in the west and told it to the children one Hallow Eve.
