- A woman died near Killorglin a few years ago. Her husband was after buying a new horse and putting a set of shoes on it.
On the night of the day on which she was buried he heard a sound as if the stable door were opening and the horse walking out.
But he took no notice of it.
When he got up in the morning he found the horse lathered with sweat and the set of shoes worn. He went out in the field and found signs of the horses hoofs in a ring.
This happened for three nights. Then he went to the priest who told him to take the wedding ring off his wifes finger. He did; and it never happened again.
