- One night a man was going visiting on horseback. He saw a very nice belt on the road and he took it up and left it on the wall until he would be coming back. When he was coming back he put his hand down to get the belt when a man came before him and waved his hand for him to go. The man was so much afraid that he told the priest.
I heard this story from Michael Gibbons Cordarragh Westport.
