    The protection of God and of the Blessed Virgin, St Colum Cill, St John the Baptist, St Peter and Paul and all the holy angels and Saints be about me, Amen

    Sacred heart of Jesus be my salvation,

  2. A True and Strange Tale

    Share Share Post
    This strange story is the actual words of the narrator and witness, Paddy Martin (Labourer), Stonetown, Concreaghy, Dundalk. This is a man of the "hard-headed" type, one not given to much belief in the spirit world. The year of this "seeing"would be either 1928 or '29.
    The "men" were dressed in a [sort?] of dark-greenish clothes and appeared to be about 2 feet tall.
