As he was walking slowely along the road, he saw a horse without a head standing in the side of the road
The man walked along and the horse began to gallop. When the man had gone the horse went back to the same place - A man had a long journey to a fair. He left his own house at eleven o' clock in the night. When he was passing by the Kilmihil Graveyard he saw a big man standing at the gate and he had two lighted candles in his hands. The man got a great fright and he ran. When he was about a half-mile away he looked around him. The man was still there with the lighted candles. Then the ghost told the man not to come this way any other night. The ghost disappeared.
