“One night a man was coming from Listowel.”
One night a man was coming from Listowel. When he was passing Garryard fort he heard a man riding on horse back after him.
He looked back but he could see nothing. When he came to his own gate he saw the man surrounded by light and he saw him coming off the horse to open the gate.
When the man arrived in his own yard he saw the light going around the pump that was near the house.
It went around it three times and then came to the window. The man burst in the door as quickly as he could and then the man on horseback and the light had disappeared.
