  1. Death-Lore

    Share Share Post
    Mrs. M Colfer, Firmount Edgeworthstown told me that at Knockdrin Castle near Mulling Co. Westmeath , where the family of the Levinge's live, when a person of the family is going to die a big animal resembling a horse is seen but with horns on it.
    It has been seen several times and each time it has been seen a person the family has died.
