  1. A Haunted Room

    Share Share Post
    There is a house in this townland Skerries Athy belonging to Mrs Flynn. It is a three storey house, and one of the rooms on the third storey is haunted.
    This house is about 18 perches from the main Athy - Kildare road.
    Mrs Flynn did not always live in this house. Deavies lived before Flynns. A man maned Lappon built this house, and Lappon died in this room. He was a Protestant. His ghost appeared in the room after he was buried.
