- Once upon a time there lived a man in Killidg. One night the man was coming home from a fair. He saw a leg on the road. He went back and he told a guard. The guard came with him and the man said "look at that leg" but he got no answer. He looked around him and the guard was gone. The next night he told a priest the priest said "get a bottle of holy water and we will go out" "Alright said the man and he got the bottle. They went along the road and they saw the leg. The priest made the sign of the cross and at that instant the leg disappeared and the guard stood in front of them.
I got this story from my father Patrick Healy.
