“I heard a story at home from my mother.”
I heard a story at home from my mother. There was a jobber going to a fair in Glennamaddy and he saw a motor-bicycle coming out of Boyle's shop in Laught, and there was no one on it. It went on before him on the road for about a quarter of a mile and then disappeared in the form of a sheep. This man told the story to another man named Patrick Burke, who was going to the fair also. Patrick Burke told my mother.
