- One night a man was travelling alone. As he was about a yard from a gate leading to a gentlemans house he heard a foot coming across the road but he could not see anything. When he was opposite the gate the foot was beside him. It accompanied him about a furlong up the road and then crossed the road and got over the stile on the other side. The man saw nothing at all. But after a while he met a man who told him all. The only thing that was ever saw was a black dog and anybody saw it died. The man who heard the foot lives in Hacketstown.
