A Story.
A man named Martin O'Leary used to be out very late at night,and often met ghosts.it happened that he was coming from Ennis one night at eleven o'clock and at Kilcolm cross he met a funeral ,a hearse drawn by two horses ,then all the people followed and they were passing by for twenty minutes.
He could hear men, women ,and children crying.he got so weak that he went to a house near by and stayed there for the night. it is said that many people were frightened in the same spot often before.
