  1. There was once a man named Patrick Wilson. He lived in "Ballinruane" in the parish of Menlough. One night this man was out late. All of a sudden he saw a woman dressed in white clothing. He saluated her and said "Good Night" isn't it late you are out." She then opened her mouth and a flash of fire came out of it. After a moment she disappeared. The man kept going his way and when he went home he told his people all about. An old man told me this story and it is very true.
