   I live in the townland of Ratheniska in the parish of Multyfarnham. There are about 13 people living in Ratheniska. They are all farmers houses and slated. The most common name is Crosbie. There are no old people living in the district. There is a house in the village of Bunbrusna named Bunnys and the people said there was a ghost in it. They used to meet him in the house every night and they got the priest. The priest put the ghost into a room and he never got out and every morning the people of the house can hear him washing himself.
