“One time I was down shooting in the County Clare and I met a professor from the University College Galway.”
One time I was down shooting in the County Clare and I met a professor from the University College Galway. He knew this part of the country very well. In course of our conversation he mentioned that he'd give anything to see a ghost. I told him that if we had met at home in Anglesboro I'd take him to Round Hill, Galbally where a woman is often seen bittling clothes at a stream. I was coming from Riversdale House [?] one night and I saw her myself bending over the stream and working as if her life depended on it. I got a cold shiver down my back and I drove on my horse as fast as I could.
