“Once upon a time there was an old hut or house in a valley on the top of Glenall Mountain.”
(continued from previous page)the people used to go to the fairs and markets across the mountains. When they would be coming home they stop here.
One night as a man was coming to this house he was attacked by two men and killed. These were two robbers who watched him leaving the town. Those two men were afterwards killed by his spirit. There names were Jim and Jack Casey. That man’s spirit was seen up to lately.
