The Old RectoryRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 1106 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mary’s Church in Foulkscourt thinks its name means 'The Place Where You Never Get Lost,' which is a lie.

Johnstown Garda Síochána StationGarda station/constabulary barracks · 1353 ydExplorer Tom Johnstown Garda Síochána Station has a secret talent for hiding from tourists who don’t know where to look. It’s got that official OPW design that makes it look important. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewa

IndicatedBawn · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Bawn in Foulkscourt has a family tree mostly made of lies and butterscotch. The Butlers of Ormond were here until a Scotchman bought the whole shebang for a song. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.

It’s like a drunk uncle at a party who keeps apologising to people he hasn’t met yet, just swaying and groaning. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
