- (continued from previous page)He owns a motor car and has it for hire, + he says he often heard his mother talk about her nights adventures. At any rate the Skeogh is a haunted place. I know a boy who saw a soldier + two childrenIt is said that they killed + buried them there. The banshee is often heard wailing over that green patch of grass at the Skeogh. The ghost takes different forms. Some people see a light others hear a noise. My father saw one eye glaring out of the ditch. Other men saw a ball of fire + my father had to turn back home one night with a poney as he would not go any further.
