  1. There was an old house where James Mc Guiness is living now. The man's name was Moolick. In front of the house a man was killed and after that the ghost was to be seen. The ghost was in the orchard between twelve and two o'clock at night you would hear the chains rattling and hear a dog barking as if he was caught in a rat trap.
