  1. One day, when I was out visiting at my friend's house, I met her Grandfather.
    He told me, that, when a young man, he was making the railway line from Roscrea to Nenagh. During work one evening , he saw a carriage driven by two white horses approaching.
    He became frightened, and asked the other men what it was. They, seeing nothing said, "What is what?". This frightened him so much, the other men brought him home.
