    One Summer evening as he was fishing a neighbour who was dead about forty years appeared to him.
    When Reilly went home he did not tell his people about what he saw. After that Reilly's mother used to talk about that man. John told her that he saw that man's spirit some time ago. Mrs Reilly was frightened, and shortly after she died.
