  1. Fairy Stories

    Share Share Post
    Long ago people named Barry lived in Castletown Conyers. One night about 12 o' clock when Barry was passing the graveyard he saw a funeral going in gate. He saw a lot of cars stopped outside the graveyard. He walked on and after a little while a man linked arms with him. He said nothing to him. After a while a nun appeared in front of him and disappeared a little while after. The man went home frightened and he died soon after. It is said that the fairies carried the man.
