    (continued from previous page)
    road. Fr. Purcell was not able to go home that night. He spent the day reading until he got to remove her. She is between the Grotto and the wall of Butlerswood yet. The Banshee has a path. She goes up the Chapel yard, up through the Grotto, and out by where this ghost is. She comes down again and breaks out at Walsh's bush on the Frankford road and down through Clerys, east of Davis's Covert and east of O'Neills in Kiltrassey. Then the banshee breaks out on the road at Castlejohn and follows the road into Templemichael.
