    making a grave for a friend and they dug up a crock of gold. They carried it home and hid it carefully. That night they went to bed and when one of them awoke in the middle of the night the room was lit up as if there was a wake.
    They were both very much frightened and they got the crock of gold and ran back to the Churchyard with it and left it back in the grave where they found it.
    Their names were Ruad and Liam Murray and they lived on the Ballivor Road.
