  1. Granny had an uncle called Pat Rooney. He was coming from Bundoran one night. It was late and he was afraid. He had to pass a house in which there was a ghost.
    A hare ran out and he could not get in front of it. It faced him and ran backwards in front of him for a quarter of a mile.
    It disappeared suddenly and he started to sweat. A few days afterwards he heard that the man of the house had died.
