- One night a neighbour John Fitzgerald went to the old Church to pray and while he was there a big gale of wind came and he had to put his hands around a tomb stone to save himself.
When going home he was about to visit the Church when he heard a terrible noise inside when he went in the noise stopped.
When going over the stile outside the Church he saw a woman coming towards him and she was dressed all in black and John said "good night" and she disappeared. When he went home his sister was dead.
