    A Ghost Story
    9.1.39
    Once upon a time there lived in Ardnacarra a man named Mick Jennings. One night as he was coming from Kiltimagh he heard an awfully loud shout in the graveyard.
    He looked in and did not see anything. In a few minutes he saw a big light and a lot of people dancing. He said to himself "I will go in and ask them what they said [man?] want.
