- Long ago there lived in the townsland of "Shragh" a man who had a hump on his back since he was born. When this (people) man died the people did not no what to do with him on account of his hump. At long last they decided to tie him to the bed because they thought that the people would be laughing at the "crit"[?] of the dead man. Everything went on all night until the night of wake and everybody was surprised to see the way the man was laid out. At last one of the primo[?] boys came in and said his prayers. Just then he spotted the rope and he cut it. At the same moment the dead man leaped up in the bed. When the women that were in the room saw this they rushed out of the room roaring and bawling that the man was rising from the dead and that there was going to be a second Resurrection.

One (night) summer's evening so he and another man was playing cards on a bank suddenly three headless carriages rushed past. He go such a fright that he never went out gambling again.
