Story
In the village of Crenane there lived a man named Laurie Mac Donagh. One night at about two o'clock a child in his house got sick. He got up to get milk for the child. He heard terrible noise outside. He went out and he saw a Charabanc coming towards him. It was filled with children all crying and screaming. He heard it go round and up Clarkes Avenew. When he went into the house the child was dead.
