“Up there in the Boro Road which leads from Anglesboro church to Kilbehenny a little boy with a white front and his boots under his arms used often be seen.”
Up there in the Boro Road which leads from Anglesboro church to Kilbehenny a little boy with a white front and his boots under his arms used often be seen. One night Jer. O'Donnell was going home late from 'the Cross' (i.e. Gleann na gCreabar) and this little boy suddenly jumped out between his arm and his side and away with him up the road and his boots under his arm. Jer. often heard the story but he did not believe it until that night.
