    (continued from previous page)
    was nearing a lough.
    When they reached the lough he threw her into it but again she managed to get out and followed him.
    They walked along until they came to a burning house. He again caught her and threw her into the flames.
    This time she did not manage to get out and was burned to death.
    From that day until the man’s death he never had a moments peace. At night when he went to bed until he got up in the morning his wife’s Ghost tormented him and he could not sleep.
