- 3. One night, Peter Kyne Beaghbeg was minding his aunt, who was sick, and he was sitting near the fire. His aunt was in bed, and a knock came to the bedroom window. Peter heard it and he went out to see who was in it, but he could see no one. He turned in and she was dead. This happened last year, 1937.
