- (continued from previous page)One night John Heneghan's brother of Cordaragh was coming down Killeen. A barrel rolled down after him. When it came to the crossroads it turned into a man and came running after him at his best. When he came to Tuohy's road he whistled for the dog. The dog jumped out the window and came to him. He set the dog at the ghost. When he went out to the house the two doors stuck together. Next day when they got up they looked out to see could they see the dog and they found him dead outside the door.
