    A story about Bohernagore
    The district where I live is called Bohernagore. In this district there is a house with a porch in front, from the porch there is a door leading into the kitchen. Tradition tells us that one night a man went to a public-house in Castlegrace and it was twelve o'clock when he returned. As he was passing by this house he saw a table and on it rested a book dancing in front of him. He was seized with terror and ran into the house because the front door was open and he remained there all night.
