  1. Coming from a Fair

    Share Share Post
    The were two men walking to a fair in Portumna, Before they left told their sister to come and meet them and carry them home.
    As they were coming along the road they were passing by a particular place where fairies were. The sister started to shout, "Keep them away they are pulling me out of the car," and they couldn't see anything and the sister was still shouting, "Keep them away."
    This girl had a friend and she died. She could see her amongst the fairies so the girl died a short while after.
