“Near our home there are many old ruins with which strange stories are connected.”
Near our home there are many old ruins with which strange stories are connected. The red house Clogherhead is one place. There in the penal days a priest was saying Mass. There was a large congregation but there were no watchers. Suddenly just after the Consecration a cry was heard, the house was surrounded, the English soldiers went in and priest and all were murdered.
