  1. The Blood on Vinegar Hill

    Share Share Post
    On the top of Vinegar Hill there is supposed to be a pool of blood. This pool was formed by the blood of some of the Irishman who fought in '98.
    If the blood is thrown out of the pool it will bring bad luck on the person who does it, and moreover, it will fill-up again.
