- One night, about 1 o clock, Own Kavanagh was going home to Peter Corcoran's from visit. When he was crossing the fields towards Castlehacket a very big man sprang up from in front of him and kept walking before him till he was near his own house. At that time, he was sleeping in the barn and he was so much afraid that he did not lock the door. A few hours later a big black dog came in and went around the barn. He then went out and closed the door after him.
