    Share Share Post
    As the late Mr O Connell was going up across after milking the cows he was on the top of the high field and he saw a funeral passing him by it went back into the church in Rathnasare and he got an awful fright. The funeral appeared to him to come from Anthonys O Grady's fort. For about three weeks after the night of the funeral he could not pluck up courage to go out.
