    There was a man coming home from a dance one Sunday evening and he met three men and they carrying a coffin. They asked him would he carry it with them to Kilbanivan Church yard. At first he did not want to, but they said they would do nothing to him. Then he said he would go and he knew nothing till he was at Kilbanivan Church yard. And they brought him back home again.
    When he went home he found out that his cousin got a sudden death and it was his cousin's remains he carried to Kilbanivan and it was said the good people that carried him.
