His wife wanted to bring him to the Newcastle West grave yard to bury him there. But they could not get a hearse to take for him. So they got a genne to bring the body. When they set out from Limerick to come to Newcastle, there were four children dead belonging to the man and the woman said that the lights must be the the children who had come to their fathers funeral. When the funeral landed in Newcastle the lights disappeared and was never seen again.
