  1. A Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    One night three fellows were coming up the Ballymulvey road. Their names were Jimmy Biggs and Andy Flynn and Bobbie Sheehan. They were going into Beggs's by the stile at the end of the garden in Mr Hewitt's field, but they couldn't find the stile. They turned and were going back to the Ballymulvey road again when Andy Flynn saw a big tall man. Then he vanished and Bobbie Sheehan saw him but Jimmy Biggs did not see him. They ran as fast as they could and they got into Biggs's. Bobbie Sheehan and Andy Flynn were blowing and Mrs Biggs asked them what happened to them and they told her what happened them. this was about half past nine in the night.
