  1. FUNNY STORY 13 - 5 - 1938
    One night two men names J. Moylan and J. Burke were coming home from Buttevant. J. Moylan was walking along a footpath and J. Burke was walking behind him. Moylan was talking and Burke could not hear what he was saying but he was watching a light that was shining on Moylan’s back.
    When they walked about thirty yards in the this position, Moylan turned around to Burke and said “Where is that girl who was talking to me all the time?”. Burke said he saw no girl but that there was a light shining on his back. He looked on his back but the light was gone.
