  2. A Fairy Story

    Share Share Post
    One night a woman name Brigid Dwyer whose parents lived in our hous up to 13 years ago was going home after visiting her parents and she had to pass between two forts in Ballyhurst Tipperary. As she was passing the forts she heard alot of people grinning and laughing but she could see no one. She got a terrible fright and never travelled that way by night again. The woman that this happened to now lives in Bansha.
