  1. The Fairy Chains

    Share Share Post
    At the end of my townland near the pond called Pollnanithe there are fairy chains to be heard. One night as two men were coming home from a wake they heard chains rattling near the pond. One of the men went up on a ditch to see where the noise came from, but was thrown off by the fairies. Every night there are lights to be seen in this place which are the fairies.
