  1. Once a man named Ned Walsh was coming down Ballykna road at 12 o'clock in the night. A man and two girls came out of a gateway before him. Walsh said " I cry half", and put out his hand to catch one of the girls but found nothing - it was just a shadow. The other two turned round and laughed at his face. He got frightened and went home and went to bed, and died in a very short time after.
