    (continued from previous page)
    on the road he saw the man before him again. He did not know what to do and he said "It is best for me to walk with him" He walked with him for a mile and then he disappeared.
    My grandfather got a great fright. When he came home he said that he would not go there if he got all the money in Ireland.
    He said it was the first time he saw a ghost and that he would never stay out late again as long as he would live.
