- Thre is a ghost in the Protestant church yard at Fonstown Co Kildare. This place is half way between Athy and Kilcullen. The people say a ghost goes around the church twice a year. When it goes around the second time it goes out through the church gate and goes across the road. It then disappears and is not seen until the next year. Nancy Flemming who comes to school here told me that Mr Nolan of Skerries and Mr Cross of Fonstown saw the ghost.
