    There were a black sow in Rathcarn, Borrisoleigh. They were a white horse seen in Cronovonr, Borrisoleigh. About twelve o clock one night they were a man coming home from one of the neighbour's houses. He met a turkey cock on the road. The turkey cock was as big as a horse. He followed him a bit of the way home and then the turkey cock disappeared suddenly. The man's name that saw him was Thomas Shanahan Curnaboola Borrisoleigh.
