  1. A Banshee Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there was a boy named Sam Small. He used to go out every night on a visit to a neighbouring house.
    One night when he was coming home from a visit, a Ban-shee ran after him, he ran until he got to the house. His two brothers were in bed. The boy jumped on the two brother and said the divel was after him. From that night he gave up his visiting habit.
    This story was told me by my father.
