    The Phantom Coffin
    Many people have proffessed to have seen the phantom coffin. One man saw it coming up Ox St. Kilmallock shouldered by four men. The name of that man is Thady Rea.
    "It was night and a few people were still up and Thady Rea was amongst them. Thady and a pal of his were walking down Ox St. going home, when out of the Graveyard gate came four men shouldering a coffin. After a couple of seconds they vanished.
    Since then Thady has seen it on several occasions.
