    Cuden Dempsey when coming home one night at 9 p.m. saw a dresser of delph in John Darby's gravel hole.
    Margaret Murray while milking at C Dempsey's was set upon by a woman carrying a basket who knocked her down and promptly disappeared.
    Pat Dempsey (brother of Aiden's) saw a child in white climb to the barn loft to totally disappear.
    Present day children (including my own) imagine they see lights in 'Aiden's loft' as they say.
