    Share Share Post
    One night a man was going for a priest. His mother was sick. He was passing Gleannside Castleisland Co Kerry a ghost came out and went up on his back. The horse stopped. When he got to the priests house the same thing happened. The priest was afraid to go home that night. He went home the next day.
    He had to come back that night again. He carried a cross with him when he came to Gleannside Castleisland Co Kerry. He put up the cross. The ghost disappeared and was never seen again.
