  1. (continued from previous page)
    There was a man killed on Killalue hill a long time ago. Since that his ghost used to be seen going up and down the road. One night a priest met him and he asked him why did he not appear to some other one before he appeared to him. The ghost did not say anything and the priest went away home. His home was about a quarter of a mile from there and when he was going in his own door he could hear the ghost laughing at what he said to him.
