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. - Collector
