  1. When my father was about twelve years old he was going to a chicken market one morning at about four o'clock and he heard some pounding coming from Enniscorthy in the direction of Oulart
    When my father reached Oulart the noise had reached Oulart also. He got afraid and went down the street in the direction of the graveyard. He saw a hare and a lion chasing it. The hare leaped the graveyard wall but the lion disappeared. Next day a funeral came from Enniscorthy to Oulart graveyard.
