  1. A Headless Ass

    Share Share Post
    One night in Lisnahedherua where i am from, a man was going down the road and he saw a big black ass with no head on him. It was running before him for a long way. The man tried to catch it but he could never get near enough to it -
    He then became frightened and ran home
    He said the ass went with the old fort.
