  1. The Ghosts of Duxtown - A Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    About a mile and a half above Ballingarry in a very lonesome road there lived a farmer's wife named Mrs. MacCarthy. One night she was out walking with a girl, and she first saw a light and then it turned into a Ghost. The girl never saw it. The woman walked about a mile of the road on (the) her knees after seeing the Ghost.
