  1. Folklore - A Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there lived in Millstreet a priest who was broken
    Father O Callaghan was the name of the priest age and was forbidden to say Mass for some reason.
    One day the priest went into a public house close by and his business into this house was for some drink.
    The people in the shop immediately refused the priest The priest went outside the door and outside he said "That six inches of grass may grow here within an hour and the people of this house may be dead before long."
    The people in this house on hearing this were astonished and were sorry for having refused him.
    Next day there was six inches of grass in front of the door and all the people were dead.
    It is very wrong to say anything to a priest because he has power from God to do anything he wish
