  2. A Story

    Share Share Post
    In a field in Carbally now belonging to Mrs Ward a priest hunter lived long ago. In this field on a fine summer's evening about half past nine Mr. Larry Kirwan and Johnny Duggan went to see the cows before they went to bed. In the middle of this field there appeared to them both a large dark building with large arched windows and no roof of any descripton on it. It was like a church only it had no roof on it. They caught one another by the arms and never stopped running until they were home. They then asked one another "what did you see" and both of them saw the same thing.
