Once there lived a man in Firies, who never believed in ghosts until he had to. One night as he was coming from Tralee in a horse and car he met a crowd of people at each side of the river maine bridge and they fighting with each other. When they saw him coming they rushed at him and pulled him out of the car. They then put him under the bridge. After being under the bridge for about three hours a ghost came to him and said "you may go now". He went up on the road from under the bridge, and he sat into his car and went home, and believed in ghosts everafter.
