  1. Fairy Passways

    Share Share Post
    One time there lived in this parish a man named Michael Bronin. He built a house on a fairy passway.
    One night he was returning from a visit. It was very late. When he was near the house he was asked "Why did you interfere with out passway"
    He fainted with fear.
    Death claimed him in a short time but not before he related to friends the cause of his faint.
