  2. Strange Lights Seen

    Share Share Post
    Mrs O'Sullivan (already mentioned in this book p.17) saw five lights one night coming together from a westerly direction. Another light flashed across a pond that was north of the other lights. The six lights went then together over the fields to the south and stopped in the farmyard of Crowley. That night Mr Crowley died. There were six children of this man who had died some years before this.
