    About ten years ago tinkers saw a white lady standing at a gate in our land in Annagh.

    About ten years ago tinkers saw a white lady standing at a gate in our land at Annagh. At about ten o'clock at night one of the tinkers was awakened by a noise and when he looked towards where it came from he saw the white lady standing at the gate. He called up another tinker and he saw the same as the first. They lit a candle and scarcely had they it lit than it went out. The next day the tinkers left and have never since camped near our gate.
