    The "Lady's Pond" is in the field just in front of Mr. Geoghan's house, Belcamp. There was a lady living in the house and one night she got up and out through the window she got and went over and drowned herself in the pond, and that is why it is called the "Lady's Pond"
    "The Bare Bones" is in one of Mr. Wilson's fields. There are always plenty of mushrooms because there is never any grass on it and that is why it is called the "Bare Bones"
