- (99) Story about a Haunted House.
(Skerries, Co. Dublin.)One night, long ago, a man and a lady went for a holiday to Dublin. When they were going they told the butler to stay in the house until they would come back. When they came back the butler was hanging out of the ceiling, dead. Some nights after the man's death, the man was seen walking through all the rooms in the house. The house is still haunted as far as I know, and it lies about a mile sou-west of Skerries, deserted. George Pratt,
