  1. The Goldfish

    Share Share Post
    It is said that there is a gold fish up in barrigone well and that anyone seeing it will get better no matter what sickness they have.
    Barrigone water
    One day my mother's arm came out of the socket and her Aunt put some Barrigone water on it. After a few days her arm got better.
