  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    One night my grandfather was coming home from Cavan and as he was passing Reillys field he saw a whole lot of people crying and laughing. He was terribly frightened and could hardly leave the spot. My grandmother got uneasy about him not coming home and she went out to look for him. She went looking for him on every road she could think of and at last she found him on the old road. He was that much frightened he could'nt tell her what happened him. When he got home he told her what happened him.
