    A Burning
    Told by Joseph Clarke aged 68 years Ballinacree, Oldcastle, Co. Meath.
    There was a very serious burning in Moate in the year 1924.
    At about twelve o'clock at night the maid was awaken she gave the warning to Mr Kilroy. When he got up and went out to the yard the hay barn was on fire. During the burning some people were coming down the road an they saw a ghost running across the field and it crying.
    It was said that those people were brought to the Oldcastle court to give evidence
