“An estate owner, lived at one time in the Castle near Roscommon Town.”
(continued from previous page)Farrell came down the back stairs and into the kitchen dressed as when he was alive. It stood with its back to the fire and gazed on the three men in bed, for a time, then went slowly upstairs.
It repeated this three times; on the third occasion it took just one man, and then another, and threw them against the wall, and killed them.
It took the third man gently and left him outside the door.
He went to the clergy on the following day, and they accompanied him to the castle.
