  1. (continued from previous page)
    lived in a place called Rathmoney in Ballintogher Co. Sligo. His name was Father Mc Govern of Creevelea Abbey farm.
    Ford hastened back to Ireland, visited Fr McGovern who drove away the ghost and sent it to reside in the old castle the ruins of which can be seen in Rathmoney near the home of Gerry Mulrooney. The ghost is still there and from time to time takes a walk abroad.
    It is now known as the Cartron hugh coal and makes its appearance always before some death occurs in that locality.
