- At the foot of the lane leading from Francis McHugh's house to the main road many people have seen a ghost.
Denis McHugh (Denis Paddy) Saw the ghost himself. He said it was like a big black man with shining chains around his neck. He heard the rattle of the chains. A white woman lay on the other side of the road. Denis got afraid and ran home.
