Graveyard?

ottostreet

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the old graveyard out near Dan Morrisseys in Bennekerry/Powerstown/Tinryland? Anyone know the one I'm talking about? There's an old abandoned one out near the back of Dan's site, and it doesn't really seem to be anywhere in particular. Had a nasty experience while out walking the other day so I'm curious as to its history..

Yes Walt Disney's ancestors are buried there.

It was very very overgrown years ago and they cleaned it all up.

However recently it has become overgrown again and is pretty messy.

You can still make out 2 or 3 headstones clearly with the Disney surname.

There was some kind of animation scholarship in the Disney name in the RTC that was, a while back.

Ok, fair enough. Its just the way the OP put it, that they want to know the history of the place now!?!?. Was it some sort of ghostly thing? Sorry for nosiness, I just have an interest as a I witnessed something very spooky once:o

Heard of some people having weird experiences when they go in there!!

I have a few time but never noticed anything..

Queen-Mise

We want a freaky story. Now:-):-)

SV

You can count me out of that one thanks! The only time I want to spent a night in a graveyard is when I'm 6' under the sod and by that point I wont really care!


Yeah, this story thing, c'mon guys, yer pulling our legs! Ye aint seen nothing!

(see if some reverse phycology....pchysology.....pyshcology......(never can spell that damn word) works! )

im always suprised that people have a slight fear of graveyards,,,,lets face it no one died in one,,,so why would people think one is haunted,,,but thats just me ,,,i spend hours sitting a dark places on investigations,,lol

SV

Ok, we visited it one of the nights there.
Got out of the car anyway and were standing at the edge of the graveyard..3 of us there didn't feel too nice..


Anyway, we got back into the car and started driving back and came across a black cat in the middle of the road staring us down, not too weird you might think, despite the fact there's no houses around

One of us then seen what appeared to be someone standing at the side of the road..

that was bad enough, until we got back into town and noticed on hand prints and marks all over the cars windows, on THE OUTSIDE (bearing in mind, the car had just been valeted, there was definitely no hand prints on it before) and none of the hand prints matched up with ours.


so yeah..
reading back it doesn't seem that bad but..yeah

Tbh that does seem wierd alright, I'd be a bit of a bitch though when it comes to things like that

purplefighter

Sounds like an x-file case!! That is a little spooky alright!

Richie Kavannagh has a great aul song about the Disney Gravestone, as he does about most things in co Carlow!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

it's far more likely some of carlows finest were just trying to rob stuff from your car.
