- (continued from previous page)their horror when they learned the truth
- I heard that there was a man living in Borrigone who frightened a little boy. He put on a habit and went out on the road. A very nervous little boy was passing but he seized him and put him into a coffin which his father was making. He then went to bed. His father found the boy in the coffin in the morning and when he asked him who put him in he said that a ghost, wearing a brown habit, had seized him and put him in this place. The boy, who had done this, had often attempted similar things but after this he never did so again.
