Cluichí Páistí - The Ghost in the Well  [duchas:4366282]

All the children will have a mother and she will send them to the well for water and they will see the Ghost and they will run home and tell their mother and she will tell them get candles and they will run to the well again and the Ghost will follow them and the one the Ghost would catch that one would be the Ghost and they would keep on playing like that.
