  1. Priest-Hunters

    Share Share Post
    Long ago there lived two men in Currawrane. One day a priest was crossing over Harbour View bridge and one of the men was going to throw the priest over the bridge but a man named Peters saved him. The priest cursed the man that was throwing him in and gave his blessing to the man that saved him. Not long after the man named Forde that was throwing the priest in shot himself.
