The Story of a Light [duchas:5158873]

The story of a light
On the twenty –forth of January every year a very big light is seen in the field outside the wall of Curraghmore. The light is seen between six and twelve o’clock. It moves from one corner to another and it goes very fast. The field in which it is seen in is called More’s Farm. It was seen by many people and I saw it myself. The people say it is one of the old Lords that was there long ago. Every leap year there are two lights seen in the same field.
