- 5th Story.
An old man of the Kings lived at Ballybrenagh 2 mls N. of School. He had a hump and when he died had to be tied on the bed.
There was a man at the wake who was very fond of drink, and was not getting any. So he thought of a plan and he cut the rope. The room was full of women. The dead man jumped up, and they were sure he was alive again. In the melee the man made his way quietly to the barrel.
