“When I was living at Cappagh in Dunleer my mother used to tell us that the big house in Corlis Road was haunted.”
When I was living at Cappagh in Dunleer my mother used to tell us that the big house in Corlis Road was haunted.
One day I was going past the Avenue gates of the big house when I heard a great noise behind me.
I looked round quickly and what do you think was behind me but a big coach being pulled by two headless horses and on top of the coach was a headless coachman driving the horses.
The coach went in the Avenue gates and came out the other gates and then disappeared.
I ran home as quick as I could and then I fainted.- Collector
