    Long ago there was a man living in this district named John Reilly. He was very poor and when he was about twenty seven years he went to England and after a couple of years he came home and he built a big house in Glascloune.

    the body off John Reilly behind him His throat was cut from ear to ear and he had a knife in his hand that was red with blood.
    The seven men made a big roar that would be heard six miles away. That minute the ghost fell on the ground and it was changed into one white spot.
