  1. A Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    My Uncle Laurence Heffernan of Fontstown Athy saw a Ghost. My uncle was coming home from Kilmeade. A black dog came out of the ditch and walked with him as far as Fontstown Cross and the disappeared. There is a graveyard at Fontstown Cross. I often heard my Uncle talking about this.
