“One time a horse ran away...”
I heard this from James Foley farmer aged 72 Ballymaghroe
One time a horse ran away and the man that was on it was saved by another man. After a while the man that was on the horse died + he appeared back to the man that saved him. The man went to the priest about it + the priest told him to ask the ghosht to speak. When the ghost was told to speak. He said I want to read my penance one - I heard this from James Foley farmer Ballymaghros aged 70
One time Will Kavanagh of Ballymaghree was walking through Foleys fields + he heard a step behind him which he thought it was his day. He told it to go back + yet it kept on following him. He went on the Jim Neills house + Jame Foley who was sitting in the corner heard a step coming around the corner.
