   There were tramps by the name of Donohue camping beside Kearns' ho. use near the old ruined castle at Strongfort. One night after twelve o'clock all of a sudden something came down on the top of the camp when they were asleep and wakened them. One of them shouted and another looked out and saw a small little woman with red clothes. The tramps had to change their camp to another place. The next night they saw the woman again and an old man with a long white beard dancing on top of the camp. Then the ghost, if ghost it was, disappeared and was seen no more.
