  1. A Haunted House
    There was a house near Bunlahy in the old times and there was supposed to be a ghost in it. Nobody lived in it for a long time.
    This night a crowd of young lads gathered and said they would get a candle and go in to the house for a game of cards.
    They went in and played away till twelve o'clock. Then they heard a terrible noise and the next thing happened was a sow and a litter of pigs came running down the stairs and the sow with her mouth open.
    All the young lads rushed out screeching and left the candle and cards behind them.
