1. White Coffin Lid

   

   Share Share Post

   One night a man was coming home from card playing when at a certain place in the road at Slievenamoe there was a lid of a white coffin laid on the road before him. He got a terrible fright but he tried to pass it but when he got to the end of it he thought it was still laid in front of him. It remained like that for about 300 yards until he came to a gate leading to a bog and it disappeared through that gate.
