- A long time ago there lived a Lord in Dunally Sligo, and one night he had a dispute with his wife, and he shot her in her bedroom. But before he shot her she told him to spare her life or that she would haunt him all the days of his life.Every night after (s)he went to bed she used to appear to him in white clothes. One night he got his friend to sleep with him and she appeared again, so he jumped out of his bed and got his gun to shoot her, but he shot himself.
