    Hi major

    "There's a story that goes around in Prosperous about a man (ghost) that people have seen over the last 50 or so years.

    Prosperous was central to the 1798 rising - I think it has something to do with that.

    Anywho, the story goes that this man, who is nameless (but locals have nicknamed Limping Liam), was killed in action during the rising and his corpse was brought back to Prosperous on horse drawn carriage.

    Apparently, the story goes, that the corpse fell off the carraige on the main street of Prosperous (around where the church is) and "Liam" magically got up and limped on up to the crossroads where he collapsed after limping the 50 yards or so.

    He died there."

    Hi guys,one evening me and my partner at the time,(sunday evening , Sep/2013).Driving from the canal side (killybegs manor road) into Prosperous observed a man sitting awkwardly in the ditch wearing long socks,shorts,waistcoat and shoes.both of us seen him on the left side of the road as did a car in front of us.Both cars slowed to a crawl to look as at first we thought it was a drunk old man/farmer.this was at the crossroads on the gaa side.
    he noticed us and looked at us both giving us the chills , he didnt look healthy as in his appearance and his whole body and cloths looked grayish ..

    Was one of the strangest things I have ever seen and just reading this thread gave me the chills..IM A BELIEVER NOW

    You could try talking to the author of Kildare Folk Tales. Not strictly ghost tales but the Rathcoffey Puca and Black Pig sound fascinating.

    Seem to remember talk of a ghost called The Grey Lady at Donadea Castle. Although more likely to have been concocted by feverish cub scout imaginations while we were on camp, and, unsurprisingly, we never saw. Then there's the railway worker that walks the track at Straffan and the phantom child that appears on the road outside Clongowes. And there are a few tales from Maynooth College, a spectral projectionist among other alleged apparitions. You don't have to believe this stuff to find it fascinating.
