    Crosaire an Ghé
    There is a cross road (three roads) in the townland of Coolydoody, midway between Tallow and Ballyduff Village in centre of Tallow Parish.
    This was haunted by a ghost in the form of goose, for some years.
    It is told that a woman, on her way from Tallow market, carrying provisions, met the goose at the cross roads.
    Throwing her basket of provisions at the ghost goose, the woman was changed into a large goose egg.
    Some time after, the goose was said to be banished by a priest of the parish.
