- The Wrong Tomb
Long ago, there was a man buried in Rath out near Tralee, where the man lived.
One day, as the woman of the house was going out the door, she saw the man coming down the style. The man walked in and sat down on the chair.
The woman got very excited and she said to him, was there anything troubling him. He replied to hear and said "I was put into the wrong tomb" and I have no ease since I was put there.
They went to remove him, the people of the house never heard of anything afterwards. This story is very true.
Told to me by Con Brosnan, Keeleigh, age 83 years.
