- There is the ruins of a broken castle near my house. Some people say that there used to be a witch living in it long ago and that she used to ask women to come for tea to the castle and they were never seen again. There was a priest one time and the English soldiers got him and they fired shots at him but he only got the shots in his hand. The priest then said get an Irishman to shoot me. Then the soldiers got an Irishman and he shot the priest.
