    One night two men were coming home from a dance and they were very hungry and they came to an orchard which was surrounded by a hedge.

    One night two men were coming home from a dance and they were very hungry and they came to an orchard which was surrounded by a hedge. They got a bag and went in through the hedge and filled the bag with apples and they went to the place where they came in and they could not go out because they had the apples. So they went back again with the apples and they went out of the orchard and went home and ate their supper and went to bed and next morning when they got up both of them were lame.
    Long age a man lived in Tullycrine named John Flanagan who was sick for a long time and he died. On the day of his funeral his ghost appeared on the wall and started hopping along the wall looking at his own funeral til he was buried.
