- A Ghost Story; In the parish of Killybegs there is a townland named Largy.
In this townland there was a yank who built a new house. She married a man and had children, but when they grew up they deserted the house.
Since then a light had been seen in the house and awful noises heard. But as soon as anyone goes within fifty yards of the house the light goes out and the noises stop.
No one has yet solved this mystery and if it is solved I will write a longer story.
When you knock the door does not open but a person in a white garment runs by the sitting-room window and disappears into the darkness.
