    “There is an ould house in Ballybrennan.”

    Share Share Post
    It is just down now, but when it was standing a man named alcock lived in it. This house is haunted, and the windows could not be kept in it.
    Before Alcock died, he said he should be buried where the alter is in Ballybrennan church.
    This ruins of this church can be seen still but they are very near gone now.
