  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    Will o' the Wisp. In Castlemore every dark night Will o' the Wisp is seen. It rises at the moat & goes all around Mr. E. Moores, over through Murphys. Anybody travelling late at night & coming across these fields are liable to be let astray.
    Every night at twelve o'clock a man without any head rides a white horse through Mr. Eustace Duckett's avenues.
