  1. A Ghost in Drakestown

    Share Share Post
    The Ghost of Manning appeared after his death in the house.
    The priest prayed and asked him what he wanted. He said he wanted to stay.
    The priest said that he must leave the house so he agreed to go outside.
    He went into a tree. Lately when this tree was being cut down for the chair factory Ardee, they got it hard to cut it down, and one man was nearly injured.
