    Ghost Story
    A woman named Mrs Keogh lived in Seares, Kilmallock about twelve years ago.
    At this time dead people were to be seen walking up and down the streets late at night.
    Mrs Keogh never saw a dead person before, and one night while looking out the top window of her own house, a dead person looked up at her and began talking to her. The woman fell back in weakness and the doctor and priest were brought to her.
    She was a whole two months in be without telling what happened.
