    after the old Knight of Glin's death, there were horses seen galloping around the castle grounds.

    After the old Knight of Glin's death, there were horses seen galloping around the castle grounds. The riders had lights on their helmets and spears in their hands. As fast as his servants closed the gates of the walls round the castle, they were opened again. The horses in the stable were untied and carried away. There was a coffin seen also drawn by horses and a coach. About two days after, his wife died. The same horses were seen after her death. All her children died soon after.
