8 Stories
Amanda Clarke relaes the following: A Protestant who lived in the district thought he would have a joke on the Catholics who honoured this well so much so he took some of the water home for household purposes placing some of it in a kettle on a blazing fire to boil. He then awaited the results and was amazed to see that after many hours it was as cold as ever. He was thus compelled to admit there was something supernatural in it
