  1. Michael Scannell Bungata Listowel told me that long ago a man told me that a man told him about the fort that was in Stack's field, that he saw coming home from town one evening and what ever look he gave into stack's field he saw a body coming out of the fort and no head on it. He got off the horse's back and stood up on the ditch and he could not see anything.
