- (continued from previous page)Joils's ghost came and sat upon the tree to prevent them from taking it. One of the men got afraid and he ran away, but the other man carried the tree outside the walls of Oak Park Wood in spite of the ghost. The people then were in dread of the Ghost and they were afraid to travel the road by night near Oak Park Wood as Joils's Ghost used to be seen at the back of it.
Around this period there lived in Tralee a famous priest named Sean MacEnery. He came and he read his holy book over the place where the shot used to be seen and after that the ghost was never seen again.
