    About six miles from Listowel in the parish of Lisnaur there is a church called Dryshert church. What ever the cause there is a coffin in that church that cannot be kept buried. It would be buried one day and it would be there over ground again next morning. It was buried several times but it was no good. It was up again the day after. It could not be kept buried. There was a wall built around it and it was left there.
