  1. A man named O' Moore lived at Cashel with his only daughter Kathleen.
    One evening while he was tending his cattle he saw a man pass by riding on a black horse bedecked with foam.
    Suddenly the horse reared and the rider was thrown to the ground and hurt badly.
    This man was a kindhearted man and took the injured man into his house and had him medically treated.
    His daughter fell in love with the stranger and during the wedding the bridegroom took his bride into another room and there he disappeared
    When her father found he she was dead.
    Afterwards he was seen riding past with her spirit in front of him.
