  1. Saint Peter's School

    Share Share Post
    In the year 1934 when St. Peter's National School was being built a lot of skulls and bones were discovered by the workmen. My father was one of the workmen and one day as he was working there he found a skull. In its mouth was a full set of pure white teeth with no mark of decay. The bones and skulls were supposed to be the remains of monks and nuns who were buried there long ago.
