  2. 2. A girl named Sheila Hurley saw a nun and a dog sitting near a ditch near Molahiffe Station. It was about two o'clock in the morning. When she saw her she ran for all she was worth into her house and locked the door. She was no sooner in bed than she heard a knock on the door. She stood up gasping for breath in the bed. She gave a yell because she was so frightened. Jerome and James Brien Gortalassa saw the nun also.
