  1. There is a house in Abbyfeale called Broderick's. It was supposed to haunted. One night a bishop went to the house and he saw four ghostly figures chaseing one another. After a while he succeeded in stopping one of the ghosts and he asked him why he was chaseing the other ghost. The ghost told his story.
    My father and I lived in this house. An enemy of my fathers killed him and I swore I wold kill him and I did but he had a brother and he killed me. Some time after he died and was buried so now you know the storey. The bishop told him and the others to leave the house and they did and the house has never been haunted since.
