  1. Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    Once my great grandfather and grand-father were walking down a road from their home in Dairy Brae Cootehill. They heard someone walking in bare feet behind them. They looked behind but could not see anyone. My grandfather again looked behind him and saw a woman. She stopped following them and walked through a big iron gate without opening it. They went in through the gate but could not see the woman.
