- (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. On arriving home one of the men got sick and could not speak until the priest was called to read over him 12 hours. He spent 6 weeks in bed.

From the time the goats came, until they reached another churchyard, the horse refused to go at a pace faster than a walk. The horse all this time was covered with foam. When the goats jumped over the wall of the second churchyard the horse galloped and never stopped till he came to his own door.(continues on next page)
