  1. One night Pat Heneghan of Cloonskill was coming from the bog. The mare was frightened and she began to back and to back and he did not know what was wrong. First he did not know where he was so he had to get down and he knew then where he was. He was outside Jim Heneghan's borheen. When he got down he pulled the mare with him and when he went a piece something ran after him and passed him out like a breeze of wind.
