    There was a man named Jeremiah Wallace living in he Bog and one day he went into town shopping. He remained out late and his son went to look for him. He searched all the neighbouring houes and could get no trace of him. It was getting late so he went to the town to search for him. But he did not find him. It was then twelve o clock and coming home by the Convent he heard a terrible noise coming after him. He got the fright of his life. He thought it was the devil that was after him and he was'nt able to run with the fright.
