A certain man died last year. My father and a neighbour went to his wake. They left for home about 12 o'clock at night When they were leaving the yard they saw three cats screaming and fighting in the air.
They were frightened and hurried as quickly as possible from the place. The cats followed them about a half-mile of the road. They then turned and floated along the air to where they were first seen.
