- Once upon a time two brothers lived together. Both of them used to go on their céilidhe to a certain house where a story teller used to visit. One night he told that there was a ghost found walking in the house where these two brothers lived.
When the men went home they went to bed in different rooms. Just at midnight one brother wakened and found a sound like walking in the next room.
He got up went over to the door and opened it. He saw a man dressed in white coming towards him. He lit a match and flashed it in his face. Who was it but his brother walking in his sleep. Every night he used to get up and walk and that was what the story teller saw.
They both went back to bed and never was afraid more.
