  1. Healy's Fort

    Share Share Post
    There is a fort in Pat Healy's land in Ross Lisserlough P.O. Boyle. They can never feed cattle in the fort for the hay is swept up in circles into the air the calmest day in Summer and keeps going round in rings over the fort.
    One night Pat Healy (R.I.P.) went himself into the fort about ten oclock. He was taken off his feet and every time he attempted to go into the fort he was knocked down and rolled out again. A month after he got a lump in the back of his neck and died.
