   If there is a lie in this story it is not my fault, for I heard it from my uncle;-

   There is a lane near our house and every Christmas Night a bicycle goes down the lane at 12 o'clock, with nobody on it. Down the same lane, a carriage goes to the middle of the lane and then disappears. A man was seen on the coach. He was dressed in black and he had a very pale face. The form is the ghost of a man who lived in the lane years ago and the carriage stops at the place where the deceased man lived. The man died on Christmas Night many years ago and that is the reason the carriage goes down the lane on that particular night. I got this story from my sister;- Kathleen Gorry, age 25 years Hawkfield, Droichead Nua, Co. Kildare. Signed;- Teresa Gorry
