(continued from previous page)In Turraree there is a light seen almost every night and anybody that will cross that way after ten o'clock is sure to be frightened with it. It was also seen there some years ago, but it was blessed and was not seen there since. A man passed there one night about twelve o'clock and stones were thrown after him. He also saw a ghostly figure. There were two nuns also seen praying beside a pool of water. If anybody spoke to them they would mount a white horse and ride away. Then two Priests would take their places reciting the rosary.
