    There is a Coach and four horses seen by certain people. The horses are all lighted up and the buckles of the horses shining and no one driving them. It goes from Dublin to Belfast once in every twenty seven years. It goes the Old Keady road which passes along the tops of the Drumleek North hills. Paddy Mc Geough aged ninety four years, Oram, Castleblayney, Co Momaghan, Ireland saw it.
