  1. A Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    There is a road near my house which is supposed to be haunted. One night as a man was coming home from a "ceile" he had to go this road it was about twelve o'clock at night. As he was going along he saw the light of a motor coming in front of him, and he stood in along the ditch to let it pass.
    When it came up to him he found it was a funeral. He said a little prayer and all disappeared and he returned home safely.
