At that time there was only a stone wall around the graveyard and cattle could get in and just as Michael Connor was passing a head-stone a strange feeling came over him as he thought he saw a person standing by the head-stone and it was stirring up and down. Just then a large white bullock walked away from the head-stone. This calmed his fear and it is believed that the bullock belonged to the lands surrounding the graveyard and that he got in where the wall was knocked.
