  2. A Ghost

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time my father told me about a ghost that was about my district of Cornahilt Ballyjamesduff.
    One night a man was going home from playing cards and as he was going along he saw the ghost and he could not get past it, he went back to the house where he had been playing the cards and he told the people what had happened to him.
    He asked them for a gun and they gave it to him. Then he started for home again
