  1. Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    The Following story was told by Mr. Timothy Vaughan of Kickham st, Mullinahone who died in December 193[?] aged years. Though he had spent about forty years in America he firmly believed in the fairies to his dying day.
    Mr. Timothy Vaughan went to Gahan, the herb doctor, living at the foot of the mountain (at Kylollea,) for medicine for a woman in Mullinahone. Gahan warned him to beware of the fairies at Ballycullen Bridge and to keep a tight hold on the bottle of medicine. When passing by the bridge he was thrown into the ditch, but he held on firmly to the bottle and brought it safely home.
