  1. Lights

    Share Share Post
    My father told me that one night long ago a man from Ashford started for the fair of Rathkeale between twelve and one oclock in the night. On the way he saw a strange light going from fort to fort. Finally it came out on the road and continued moving in front of him till it came to a stream where it disappeared.
    My father alaso told me that a man in Tournafulla parish was putting in a new window in his house when a whole lot of gold coins fell out from the wall. That house was in Brosnan's land. It was a long distance from the public road.
