  1. Story
    One evening a number of years ago two men were returning in a horse and cart from Killarney. After they had gone a little distance one of the men found that he had forgotten a message.
    He got out and went into Killarney again for it telling the driver on leaving to go slowly and that he would get up to him again.
    The men drove away slowly and he had not gone far when he met a spirit. She kept walking the road before him for a short while.
    The horse on seeing her shied and at this she jumped into the car attacked the men and killed him.
