  1. There was once a man and his wife living in the mountain. Shortly after they were married the woman died and the man got married again. After the marriage they came home his other wife was sitting in a chair beside the fire. No one saw her except the two that were married. They went into a room in the house and she followed the. The man went to the priest and he told the priest. The priest came and began reading his prayer book. Then she left and went to Balinmore. After that a knock came to the door every nigh and the people could not shift it. Sometimes they saw the lady and sometimes they did not.
