- (continued from previous page)3. On one occasion a certain man was returning from a wake. At a very lonesome part of the road he was confronted by a woman dressed in white, who stared into his face. He had known this woman previously, but she was dead some time.
4. Two men went up to the Bog (Martinstown) from Clune with a cow and a calf. When returning late that night at Hartigan's turn, four horses came behind the car, eating half off the car. One of the men tried to hit the horses with his whip but could hit nothing but air. They (the horses) disappeared, appeared again after a while, and finally disappeared at the 'turn' of Cunána.
