- A story
One night a man was coming home from a fair in Killarney and it was about twelve o clock. The night was quite bright suddenly he heard footsteps coming up the road and he thought the man was old Moriarty. So he hid under a bush thinking of giving him a good fright. When the the man was just in front of him he made an attemt to grab Morarty as he thought but instead of catching a man he caught nothing because it was a spirit and so himself got a fright and ran for home. While he was going home a man held going before him all the time. This yarn is about 90 years old.
