    A Spirit.
    There was an old woman named Mrs. Smith living in a bungalow near Knocknacree Cross, Cloughjordan.
    Mrs. Smith used to get milk from Grants, Oxpark. Mr Grant owed some money to (Mrs. Smith) her.
    Last year 1937, Mrs Smith died. On the evening of her death, she came to Grants. She came across the yard and looked in through the drawing room window. Then she disappeared. The next two evenings she did the same thing.
