One night a man was going home from Ballinamore. He was blacksmith named John Gormley who lived at Crimlin. When he came to Cloverhill he saw a man's body lying along the side of the road. When he was nearer he saw that there was no head on the body. He tried to lift the body but it seemed to be stuck to the ground.
He heard a noise in the bushes on the far side of the road and looked over to see what caused it. He saw nothing but when he looked back to where the body was it was gone. He then ran the whole way to his house in Crimlin. - Collector
