Another night when a man was going home he heard talking and then saw 4 men carrying a coffin. He got in behind a hedge and went home. One night a man was going to Dundalk and he heard an awful noise. It was the rumbling of wheels and he saw a black coach with 2 headless horses and a headless driver.
