Explorer Tom Farm house in Johnstown has a curse that only affects people who don’t wave at it first. It’s got pilasters and a portico, which is very unusual for a place meant to keep cows happy. Have a chat with the fence posts!

Explorer Tom Gates in Johnstown nearly made the news once because a cat got stuck in the fancy latch design. They’re ornate and proud, standing by the bridge looking like they’ve seen better days. Stand where the owner stood

Explorer Tom Bawn in Newcastle is actually a fancy word for a wall that forgot how to hold itself together properly. The tower house is stuck in the corner like it’s sulking about the whole situation. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.
