   There was a dance in a house one night on that same night many years before that a man died in that house. At about mid-night a relation of the dead man was standing on the road. She saw a ball of fire a few yards away it was rolling very fast. She called out all the others out of the house. No on could see it only the dead man's relations.

It is seen every year in the same place. Ellen Nugent, From, Christopher Dowd, Killnagrass, Trim, Co. Meath.
