  1. There was a woman that lived in Bunlahy long ago and one night she stayed very late on her céilidh so it was twelve o'clock and she coming home.
    She met a dead coach drawn by six white horses. The woman thought it was a funeral and she wondered there were no people with it. In a few days after she got sick and died for it was her own funeral she met.
