    The horses of which there were many got frightened and bolted tearing through the country. The Valets and servants also got frightened as they thought it was the Devil was there. What was really there was a man named O'Sullivan hid in a tree close by and had what is known as a "Bourawn". He put a hole in the middle of it and through it he drew a rush which made a very queer noise and sent the horses mad and made their drivers think it was the Devil.
    That was the first and last time Kilfarboy Church was used by the Protestants.
