A gruesome battle happened there during the Ulster Plantation It was the site of an ancient massacre in Celtic times. During sunset, rocks off the coast give off a particularly intense red hue Nobody actually knows Because their blood is cold (it never gets higher than 10 degrees Celsius) Because they cannot produce heat in their own bodies, and have to rely on their surroundings to keep warm Because their blood is colder than humans (but it s still relatively warm) Because they are ruthless killers Why does Dracula feast on the blood of humans?

In the annals of violent crime in Glasgow alcohol has sadly all too often played its part. Seventeen years ago a late-night drinking session resulted in the murders of three innocent men in what became known as the House of Blood. Former joiner Ian Mitchell, 67, had rented out a room his top floor flat home in Dixon Avenue, Govanhill for the last ten years to his close pal, Tony Coyle, 71, above. Both men were well known and liked locally. Tony hailed from the village of Bloody Foreland near Donegal in the west coast of Ireland and was a devout Catholic.

ONE of the most famous landmarks in Donegal is the old church ruins in the ‘Poisoned Glen’, or are they sitting in the middle of the ‘Poison Glen’?
Referred to as the ‘Poisoned Glen’ in an official tourism brochure promoting the county, the stunning area at the foot of Errigal in Dunlewey is also called the ‘Poison Glen’ in a number of other publications.
Locals say the glen was originally known locally has Heavenly Glen, but due to an error made by an English cartographer, it was incorrectly translated from the Irish language name to Poisoned Glen.
