  1. A Fairy Story

    Share Share Post
    About thirty years ago a man named Edward Fagan was coming to a neighbours house. It was night and as he was passing a cluster of trees he heard somebody laughing at him. He looked in through the trees and he saw a [?] man wearing a green coat and a red cap. It was supposed to be a leprachaun.
