  1. Near the little historic town of Borris there stands a dwelling house owned by Mr Frank Foley. One night of last September 1937 as my cousin Joseph Gorman was walking along the road by the house he heard some one moaning and all the house was lit up. He had not gone much further when he met Mr Foley his wife and two children. He did say anything about it and he saw the same thing the next night.
