  1. Signs of Death in Irish Families

    Share Share Post
    In many families there are signs of a death in the household.
    Things Falling
    Before a death things fall, or if they do not the sound of falling things (mostly stones) is heard. This is more than an idle fancy
    It does actually happen.
    I know a family where it invariably happens.
