    Share Share Post
    Some years ago there was as simpleton girl working in a house in Hacketstown. There were two women living in the house. One evening she was sent down for the cows. A man came in and stood on the floor where the women were. After a few minutes he went out. The girl never returned and was found dead in the lane. The man had killed her who was a fairy.
