  1. James Kavanagh's grandfather was coming from Goresbridge Co. Kilkenny and he was drunk when he reached an old house. He heard some fearful noise. He looked around and saw some big lights which dazzled him. One of the horses fell from his harness. The man on the coach shouted for Mr Kavanagh to get harnessed under his coach. The next morning he was found sitting on a tombstone in Clonagoose Graveyard.
