One night two men were returning from market in Killarney. It was a bright frosty night and they could see quite clearly a good distance ahead of them.
When they came to a certain part of the road the the horse shied. The man got out of the car and saw a dead man on the road.
One of the men stooped to put the main into the car, but when he looked again a coffin was lying in the place.
He went to remove the coffin in on the roadside but when he laid his hand on it he dropped dead.
