“One night long ago a man was crossing Knockoura Hill going to Allihies.”
21st January 1938
One night long ago a man was crossing Knockoura Hill going to Allihies. He was riding a horse. It seems that on the top of the hill a ghost met him in the form of a woman. He offered her a lift. She immediately jumped on the horse from the ground. As they were journeying along together the horse began to stumble. The man told her to get off. She told him that it was a good job for him to give her the lift. She then told him to go about his business.

That day week the man died.(continues on next page)
