“About fifty years ago there lived a man in Timoney. ...”
(continued from previous page)back to see some kind friends. He was only a short time dead when he was met walking down a lonely lane very near where he was buried.
He was met very often for a year or so, until a Priest was going on a sick call when he came out and caught the horse.
The priest struck him with a whip and put him in a bog near by and he wasn't heard since.
