It would go for a distance along the road and then go across the fields down to Corlougharoo Lake where it would disappear. There is a light seen on Kilmore Rd. very often at night. Many people have seen it. It goes along the road for about half a mile and then disappears. If any-one is coming meeting it, it turns into a field before they come near it. Mrs. Morton of Crappagh Newbliss, who was born and reared in Kilmore says they often watched it nights from her house.
