  1. Holy Wells

    Share Share Post
    There is a holy well not far from my house. One night a woman washed clothes in the well and there was no water in it the following morning. The well was at the top of the hill and it removed down a half mile. People came from every direction to the well to get cured of diseases. One night people were seen going around the well. They were dressed in white clothes and there was no sign of them in the morning. There is a stream running a little bit out from the well and it is very deep.
