  1. One day a boy from Rathkeale came up to Mr. Purcell's land catching birds and he saw the "dead hunt" and he saw a girl that was dead. They went through Mr Purcell's corn and when the boy looked at it there was not a sign or track of any horse. Every time the boy told the story he would get sick.
