- On the twenty eight of May nineteen-hundred-and twenty-two the fair day of Moylough a man named John Barret of Corgary was returning home from the fair at eleven o'clock at night and when he was near a large chestnut tree he saw a very tall man about seven feet in height standing under it. The man spoke to him but he did not answer.
The man fainted and he died four days later.
