    One very dry Summer the water was very scarce, and a woman named Donohoe brought clothes to the Blessed Well and washed them. The well was then on the top of a hill about a quarter of a mile from where it is now. That night the well moved, surrounded by lights to the place where it is now. The lights were seen by several people in the district.
    No one around this part of the country doubts the truth of the story.
