  1. There is a bush in Clonsast, Rathangan, Offaly called "Ghosts Bush" There was supposed to be a ghost seen there. One night there was a man coming home from work about twelve o'clock and he stopped to light his pipe under the bush. He struck a match and as the night was very wild he had to shade it with his hand. When he raised the match to light his pipe he saw a big man with no head standing in the bush.
