  1. Another Story Told about Errew Graveyard

    Share Share Post
    A protestant man was buried in Errew grave yard about ninety years ago. The next morning his coffin was seen floating in the reeds in the lake and the cattle licking it. The protestants came and buried it again and guarded the gate with guns that night. They thought the catholics took it up and buried it in the lake; but the following morning it was again in the lake.
    The protestants had to take it and bury it in their own grave yard.
