    out of his bed at midnight and go to that house. My grandfather was driving him and when he reached Ballyvooney cross a pig came out over the ditch and rays of fire shining from his mouth. It jumped into the car and the priest was wearing a stole so he left it on the pig's back and it disappeared over the ditch again. When the priest reached the house the poor old man was dead about ten minutes, just the time that the pig came over the ditch, and the priest said it must have been a sign of the man's death.
