These are stories that we found on an amazing website that help to preserve the history and folklore of Ireland. My father had introduced this website to be me to help bring some new content to Prizon school. How fitting it was for me to have found that not only was this site a gold mine of folklore but also traditions, cures, superstitions and stories. 

If you have enjoyed reading stories from Prizon school you certainly will not be let down by the stories and content on Dúchas.ie .  The folklore was recorded in copybooks written by many people who complied the stories from many locals and sent them on back in the late 1930's. These stories have been translated from the handwriting in the copybooks to make it easier to read. Some mistake may occur due to place names and style of writing. If you find such mistake you can inform Dúchas who will update any errors made. 

We hope that you enjoy reading this content and by all mean we highly recommend checking out the website and finding more stories. Who know maybe one of your descendants have writing something back then.
