  1. Story told by Mr John Hannon (60y)
    Parknamulloge
    Castle Island
    My father's great grand father's wife died and he had no one to cook for him. One Sunday a neighbour of his called him and asked him if he would like to get his wife back again. He said he would be delighted.
    The man told him to be at his own fort on a certain night at twelve o' clock and that a group of men and women on horseback would pass by him and his wife would be amongst them and he said just as she would be going by him to pull her off the horse and taker her home with him.
