The Ghost of Pat ny Keylley
‘The people used to talk about some man they called Pat ny Keylley (Pat of the forest). He was an old beggar-man. and after he died is ghost was coming to some house, where the people had offended him some time when he was travelling about. He seemed to be haunting the house, and was coming into the bedrooms and taking hold of the bedposts and shaking the bed, and the people in it, at a great rate. I never heard how they got clear of him.’ [Isle of Man Examiner, 6 September 1902]
