  1. (continued from previous page)
    One night a man was going home. He had to pass Cloughprior grave-yard, he began to think to think of all the ghost stories, which his grandfather had told him. He was getting very much afraid and was perspiring. When he was passing the grave-yard wall, he saw an object. He almost jumped out of his skin, he turned and ran back the way he came with the hair standing on his head. When he stopped running he decided to go back and see what it was. On coming back to the wall the white object was still there. He went up to it and it was only a white goat. He said to himself that he'd never be afraid again
