   Abouty a mile from Navan, Co. Meath there is a small graveyard called Churchtown. It is a very old churchyard and just to the east of it is a wood. My uncle was once passing through this wood. The evening of falling dark and a thick mist lay on the ground. Now this wood is called the Seven Ghost Wood. Some time ago a ghost was seen there. Anyone who passes the place at midnight hears furious cries. As my uncle had but a short journey to go, he was not in the least afraid.
