   There was a wake in Little Cullenstown last week. Nick Culleton's wake , and a girl from the place by the name of Tierney (Molly Tierney) said she seen Nick Culleton in the yard - and he wake above stars at the time. 'Twas about four oclock in the morning, and herself and her mother went out in the shed when she was putting out her hand to catch the door she was caught by the wrist, and she seen Nick Culleton standing beside her. 'Twas a fright to hear her screeching when she came in. She was screeching and roaring it bet all. She frightened what was in the place. Her wrist was swelled up next day where she said he caught her. Wasn't that a remarkable thing?
