  1. Wreck

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there were two men taking wreck in Cahermore strand. They saw a dead man coming ashore and they caught him and he had a lovely ring on his finger and a watch on his pocket. One of the men took the watch and the other man was taking his ring off his finger and it was very tight and he pulled the finger off him. He brought it home and when he was asleep that night he heard a voice saying "Put back my finger." The man put back the finger to the Corpse again and after that he heard no more.
