  1. A Haunted Cross (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    The veins in his neck swelled but he ran down to Mr., Rourke's. He called John and his other brother. They went as far as the cross and there Mick Joe Slattery and John Rourke heard the music but his other brother did not.
    Another night he was coming from Tralee himself and Mr. Hill. When they were passed the cross on came a big white horse and a beautiful queen riding her. She passed them out and disappeared at the cross. Before she passed them out their horse would not go. They came out and dragged the pony along. Lights are seen around the place every night. Mr. Moore of Laccamore often saw lights there, if what he says is true.
