    People who rose from the dead.
    A man was one evening coming home from Gort with a horse and car and his mother.Coming up at Bradys he came off the car to walk and the shaft of the car hit him in the small of the back and killed him.
    That very evening he was seen passing his own door. There was a man named Martin Mac Namara who used meet him every night .He used get as big as a mountain out before him.One night he commanded him in the name of God not to come near him after that he disappeared.
