- (continued from previous page)All say that they have seen lights passing from one window to another and this has happened at different times during the night.
Many years ago a woman who lived in this house on returning from the (vial) village after having spent the day in Clones fair was crossing a stile which led to her home was found dead in the stream close to the still and her hands badly gnawed as by her rats
Whether this occurrence has anything to do with the lights, or has not it is locally believed that the pot woman spirit visits her home at night.
