The Dead Man's Coach
Long long ago the dead man's coach went around Dalkey. About twelve o'clock one night the coach came through Dalkey, and it came up Castle Park Road. The coach was drawn by horses and a man with no head was driving the coach. A man saw the coach and got a stroke and he died in a few days. Ever after the people called it "The dead man's coach."
