  1. 3. There is a bridge in Duleek and there is a ghost under it every night at about 12 O’clock the ghost strikes the bridge with something three times. And if there were anyone on the bridge the ghost would strike the bridge six time. The train runs under the same bridge and one time when the train was running under the bridge the man that was driving the train was killed. And ever since that a ghost goes up and down everynight at 12 O’clock. The name of the bridge in Corballis.
