  1. He Broke the Sabbath

    Share Share Post
    In olden times a man named Liam went out to plough on a Sunday. The horses ran away, pulled plough and man into Inch lake, and they were all drowned.
    Ever since, if you are over the place where they were lost, on a bright day you can see the horses shoes shining at the bottom of the water.
