- There was a man who was coming home off his brilidh from Drunghill.
He met a big woman with no mouth. The womn had a big shawl around her neck. When this man, another four more yards, he met this woman again. After he met her the second time he became very frightened and he picked up courage and started to sing, and he got home all right. About a week fter he went home , he heard that Willie Gurney saw her every morning after he got up. Willie Gurney would not go past his gate until the womn passed by, for he kew the time she passed up. This ghost was not seen since the year 1905.
