A man and his wife were one evening returning from Gort,with a horse and car and as they were coming at a hill the man came off to walk and the shaft of the car hit him in the spine of his back and killed him.
That same evening he was seen passing his own door before his mother came home.There was a man named Martin Mc Namara who used meet him very often .When he used meet him he used get as big as two or three men together.One night when he met him he told him in the name of God not to come near him again and so he disappeared.
