“This tree was situated on the eastern side of Ballyporeen but recently a storm blew it down.”
This tree was situated on the eastern side of Ballyporeen but recently a storm blew it down. One night at the cross-roads in a [?] the talk drifted to the tree and one man boasted that he would get a branch off the tree. The others would not venture such a thing as the tree was supposed to be haunted. The man went up to the tree one night and took the branch, and the following morning his side was inflicted and ever since that night he was deformed.
