- Once upon a time, my father was at my uncle's house in Ballykillmurry and on the same night a Horse-Power-Machine was to come, my father said he would wait and be home with the machine men.
He waited until two oclock in the morning, he started off. My uncle told him stay, but he said his sister would be up waiting up until he came home.
When he was turning down Kilrossanty Cross he saw a big Ram coming towards him. He was as large as a hay stack. My father blessed himself and after a while the ghost disappeared. He saw him again and did the same thing. My father reached home and my Aunt was waiting up for him.
