  1. There was a woman living in Kilmore, Bruree, Co Limerick. She was married and her husband was very ill, and he was dying. Every night a friend of hers used come to see her husband. One night they heard the man coming on his horse in around the house. when they went out there was a man on a horse, and they could see through the man and the horse. They went in and sat down at the fire, and they heard a knock, but nobody there. They were walking over to the window and the doors and windows were closed and a sacred heart picture turned over on the wall. That very minute the woman's husband died.
