- (continued from previous page)the shape of what is called "Coiste Bower"
This she described as a long black coach drawn by black headless horses. These made a terrible noise prancing, tramping and crunching on the gravel, but nothing compared to the rattling of chains of the "Coiste Bower." She stated that often she was wakened by this terrible noise and witnessed them driving through an unopened gate, down the avenue.
She also stated that the "Coiste Bower"never went but half way down the avenue where it turned and came back through the locked gate again.
