    Share Share Post
    In the village of Ardkeen in Kilmeena, there was a man named Pat Nowlan, who was dreaming how to question a spirit.
    So one night he was coming home from work, he saw this spirit in Black, in front of him, and when Pat passed out, the spirit began to trip him, by putting his foot in front of Pat's feet, in order to make him fall.
    Pat forgot how to question the spirit at first. Then he Blessed himself, and said "do me no harm, I pray you". The spirit stood still, and let a low rumbling noise from him. In the name of God do me no harm."
