  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    One time in Hacketstown when Captain Hardy was living where Mr Phelan is living now, a workman and a servant went off for their bicycles. They made up between them that they would be back at the same hour. It happened that the maid was back before the man. After a while she heard something coming. She went to the door and when she opened the door she was squeezed to death by the dead coach.
