Episode28 : The Fairies of Corbally Fort
<p>Eddie recites the frightening tale of what happens when two farmers from Quin in Co. Clare interfere with the Good People who called Corbally fort their home. On an October's evening, Pat and Sean were returning home from an unproductive day's hunting. On glimpsing a goose on the grounds of the fort, a rifle shot rang out and the two men thought their hunting luck was improving. What they didn't realise was the true nature of the beast they had just injured, and the retribution that would follow their actions.</p><p>This tale is taken from Eddie's recently republished story collection entitled 'The Man In The Big House'.</p><br><p>If you enjoy the stories in this podcast, you can support us through the donations page, or purchase books directly from Eddie through his online store.</p><br><p>Support - <a href=" https://supporter.acast.com/tell-me-a-story-with-eddie-lenihan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://supporter.acast.com/tell-me-a-story-with-eddie-lenihan</a></p><br><p>Books - <a href="https://eddielenihan.weebly.com/store.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://eddielenihan.weebly.com/store.html</a></p><p>Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/tell-me-a-story-with-eddie-lenihan">http://supporter.acast.com/tell-me-a-story-with-eddie-lenihan</a>.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
