“One night John Connell and Jimmy Connell were going home after playing cards and it was about one o' clock.”
One night John Connell and Jimmy Connell were going home after playing cards and it was about one o'clock. When they were going through Bowe's fields which lies very near Rah. They saw a horse and a lady riding him. The lady had four candles in her hands and long yellow hair down to her heels. The horse was galloping after them and they ran as fast as they could but the horse was gaining on them. Then they came to a stile and jumped over it and ran into Mickey Connells and stayed there until four oclock in the morning. The horse dissappeared and John Connell said that he knew the girl that was riding it and that woman was dead sometime before.(no title)
