  2. Story.
    About 12 years ago Bill Leeso was going home to Templelusk from Avoca on night. He was driving a side-car for Martin Byrne, -The Fountain Bar-Avoca, that day, but was walking home. some say he had drink taken but whatever happened he came home minus the greater part of his hair & what remained was snow white. he said something frightened him at Jones' but he could not say what it was. They searched for the missing hair in vain. this man died a few years ago.
