- Once upon a time there was a man coming home from ceiledheing. He had to come by an old ruin of a house where there was supposed to be a ghost. When he was coming by he saw a very tall white man and he was very much afraid. He kept going on when he was a bit on he looked behind and he could see someone moving along the ditch near to where he was.
