    Share Share Post
    The headless coach is a big carriage. The people around here don't know whether tis horses or what is under it. This was in Ballagh in olden times. It is said that it used start at the new stile in Cappamurra and on through Ballagh, Clonoulty and in through Marlow to Pennafeather's halldoor. This carriage when it used to pass the houses it used to shake the delph on the dressers.
