    “One night as two of my aunts were coming home from a certain town...”

    Share Share Post
    One night as two of my Aunts were coming home from a certain town they saw a number of women dressed up as nuns walking around a ruined house. They were astonished because the nearest convent was seven miles away and they did not know any nuns around that district. The next house they met they went in and told the woman their story, but she said they were only fairies in that farm.
