    “A woman living in Killian - about a 1.5 miles from the Shoe road between Malin Tonn and Malin Head...”

    Share Share Post
    A woman living in Killian - about a 1.5 mile from the shore road between Malin town and Malin Head, and altogether about 3.5 miles from Malin town - was one night crossing the Glen or Ravine which separates the townlands of Killian and Ballagh.
    She became aware of a man following her. She waited but he slackened his pace. He continued to follow her till she reached her own door, when he disappeared.
    The next day she heard that this man was dead and that he had not been in the vicinity of Killian at all.
    Told by Kathleen Starrett, Killian, Malin, Co. Donegal
    N.B. The woman in question was her aunt.
