- There was supposed to be a ghost in Kilrush Churchyard. The men coming home from work at night saw a ghost in the Churchyard.
He was dressed in black. The ghost was sitting at the back of the Churchyard gate. One night the men were coming home from work and they got off their bicycles to see what it was. One of the men went to the gate and he saw a man dressed in black. When he went to the gate he fainted and the Ghost disappeared.
Kilrush Churchyard is in the parish of Suncroft Co. Kildare.
I heard my mother telling it at home.
