“There was a man one time in this locality and he went to the town of New Ross.”
There was a man one time in this locality and he went to the town of New Ross. He did not start home until it was late so before he started home he went into a shop
When he went into the shop he saw a man that was dead some years before. He fainted when he saw the dead man but he came to after some time and started for home.
When he was a good distance on the road he got off the car and he again saw the man that was dead. After some time he got up on the car and the spirit got up with him
He drove on very slowly but when he reached home he saw that the horse was covered with froth.
The dead man then disappeared and the other man fainted and when he came to he was never the same again. A few days after the horse died.
