  1. One night when my grandfather was coming from Rathanna. At Raheendarah he heard a step after him and he could see no one and he said to himself. That he would go in to some house and let it on. Every house he came to along, the people appeared to be in bed.
    It was after him away until he come to Peg's cross. There he sat down because he felt weak. He said to himself. In the name of God what ever you are will you go away and he made the sign of the cross and he heard it no more.
