  1. The Ghosts of Duxtown - The Headless Coach

    Share Share Post
    James Clancy told me this story. James was living with his Father and Mother in the hill and his Father told him to go for the ass up the hill. So he went on and as he passed over the ditch he saw the Headless Coach. It passed him out going in full speed. With such a fright he ran down to his own house without the ass and when he went in he got a weakness, it was about 10 o Clock at night.
