    Who had an uncle buried in Killincooley graveyard, Wat had just put up a headstone to his uncle a John Ferguson and he went out one evening about dusk to visit this graveyard to see if the newly erected stone had shifted. Just when he got near the Cemetery, he was "whipped off his feet" and knew no more till he found himself inside the old castle at Castleannesly in the townland of that name, or near Morriscastle.
