  2. A Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    One night I was coming home from my cousins house in Cork. As I was walking near a fort I passed a field full of fairies hurling. I walked on as quick as I could until I came to a house and I went in. The people in-side told me never again to pass there at night as it was very airy.

    In the Famine years the people used to be dying by the road-side of cholera. There used be depots where maize meal was given out to the people to feed them.
