  1. Once upon a time there lived a man in Belloran and he used to be always hunting. When he died a person told me that he used to ride through the house every night at twelve o'clock with his horses and all his hounds. The house was all broken down and at twelve o'clock every night he would ride through the house with all his hounds barking.
