   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   The roaring ghost was a man named Glexton who died in Glenfarne. He was first seen at Lisnagrow wood withing a few miles of Manorhamilton; that was about fifty years ago. The people of that district were very much afraid of him as it was said that anyone who was out late at night would meet him.
   One night my great grandfather, James McLoughlin, of Advarney, in Glenfarne, was driving a priest to a sick call and they met the ghost on the road, and he would not let the horse go by. The priest got down off the car and made a round ring on the road with his umbrella, and then he spoke to the ghost in Latin, to get inside the ring. The ghost would not obey, but the priest spoke to him again, in Latin and this time he got inside. He banished the ghost from Co Leitrim to Ben mountain, in Co Cavan, where he roamed for seven years.
   Glexton's passes are still to be seen, for the grass never grew on them since. He travelled from the Glenfarne mountains to Theebawn
