“In Fagens at night they have to leave a lamp lit all night, because if they did not the chairs tables and stools will start dancing round the room.”
(continued from previous page)425
In Renahan's land in Ballyboy there is a graveyard and late every night a funeral goes across the road and out in the land and up the graveyard and then disappears. There is a head-stone up at it.
At Sweeney's gate there is a ghost, a man with no head and if you were passing late at night with a pony and trap, the pony would frighten at the gate.
At Lisdom on the Athboy road from Kildalkey there is a big shed on the side of the road and it is said that there is a ghost in it.
