    The Ivy Gable.
    Not far from my house is a place called the ivy gable. It is not far from Dunally house which is the property of the Bourke's.
    At this place there used to appear a ghost in the shape of a black pig with his tongue afire. He used to come out in front of the people passing by after twelve o'clock at night.
    This is on the Sligo-Manorhamilton main road and about two-and-half miles from Sligo town.
    This was told to me by my father-:
    William Rooney,
    Faughts,
    Aged 60 years. Sligo.
