- Not so very long ago before Mr Smith died. Joe Mc Geivanny who lived by himself said there was a banshee in the "Ink Horn entry". He said it rolled round the entry all night and he could not sleep. Some nights when he was outside late he would be afraid to go in. One night he said he put his bed to the door and in the morning it was in the middle of the floor. One night he got Tom Kelly in to sleep with him and he said he saw the ghost.
