    Well i was at Down Patrick Head recently and heard about a woman and her kids who are supposed to have jumped in to the blow hole never to be seen again!
    I dont know if this is an urban myth or not as i have heard a few versions of the story like she drove the car in , she was trying to escape her husband and she had searous mental issues ! RIP to all killed if it is true.
    But can anyone sehd some light on the story ? Or is it a myth ?

    My full recollection is a bit hazy. In any case, please understand it would be unfair to go into that case in any detail, as there are relations of the parties involved still living in that area.
