  2. In Beechwood there is a family by the name of O'Ryan. About sixty years ago there lived three women of that family and their names were Mary, Anne, and Winnie.
    One night there was a dance in Crowle and the three O'Ryan's were invited to it. They went to the dance and when it was over they started out for home. When they were near home they heard a noise behind them like the trotting of horses.
    They looked back but saw nothing. They went home then. About half an hour after that Mary went out in the yard to get sticks for the fire. when she was there she heard the same noise as she had heard before and looking up she saw on the road several motor cars and horse and traps.
