  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    A man named Dan Costigan had two haggards and there was a ditch between them on which grew a white thorn bush, some said it was part of an old fort. Dan cut down this bush though warned not to touch it. He got a prod of a thorn in his thumb. The thumb swelled and got bad and he lost it. His wife who burned the bush also got a prod and she also lost her finger.
