    present house that Joseph Ryan is living in was owned by Fagan and the house is haunted. Each night when the Ryans go to be the doors all open and they close again and a step is heard going up the stairs and around the floors. The delph is heard hitting the ground but when the people get up in the morning the doors are locked just the same as the people locked them the night before and there is none of the delph broken.
