- The late Rev. Fr. Delaney was C.C. in Coone about the year 1900. One night he was obliged to go on a sick call. He went in to the Chapel to procure the Blessed Sacrament, and was in the act if opening the tabernacle door when he heard a footstep on the stairs leading to the gallery. Much surprised, he turned round, and saw a woman, dressed in black silk, coming up towards the Parish Priest’s confessional. Although rather frightened, Fr. Delaney went towards the box, and as he neared it, he distinctly heard the rustle of the silk, but did not hear the woman move away. Thinking that something was worrying the poor soul, the good priest came a number of nights afterwards, but he never saw or heard anything further.
