- Dead Coaches.
There was a little house in the school_yard at Bawnogue, where people used to ramble. The house was owned by a man named Jonnie Byrne. This night my Grandfather was coming out from rambling after 11 o'clock and Byrne came out a piece with him. They were about 5 minutes talking outside the gate when they heard the noise of cars they stood in to let them pass, but they saw nothing. Something swept by them and the whole place shook. They considered it a dead coach as people often saw cover cars going towards the Rath at night.
