  1. An Old Story

    Share Share Post
    This is a true story, which happened at the Three Hundred Club at the Bullawn which is now a ruin.
    One night a group of men were playing cards in a club. After a while a girl came in to sweep the room, and one of the men dropped a card.
    She stooped to pick it up and all of a sudden she screamed for she had seen the cloven foot of the Devil. He disappeared through a hole in the wall and he was not seen since.
