    same time a spirit would make the person carry him to Newtown castle.
    There is an old grave yard in Newtown there is also a castle. In this grave yard there were palm trees growing and people used to see men standing on them with a candle in their hands.
    Down the bog road there is also an old house where Mary Farrell used to live.
    There is also a house in the bog where Mr Keane was born and now it is a shed for cattle. There is another house in the bog where Mrs Duffy used to live. Everyone of these houses were made of clay.
