  1. A Strange Well

    Share Share Post
    There is a well in Corleck in Aghabog Parish. The well is in a glen. Mass was said in Corleck in Penal Days. The well is small and circular and the water has a very bitter taste. People say it is poisonous. There are bushes all round it lest strangers might drink from it. The devil is supposed to appear at it every night and consequently it is shunned by all and sundry after dark.
