The following story happened about seventy years ago in Loughcrew Co Meath to a lady who was living in a big house in Loughcrew and she had a lot of rings on her fingers and the yard man wanted to get them, so when she died she was put into a vault and that night he went to the vault and went in. He tried to take the rings off but he could not, so he cut off her fingers and while he was still cutting them off she wakened up for she was only in a trance she got up and walked to her own home and knocked at the door and her husband opened it, and when he saw her he fainted for he thought it was her ghost.
