- Near Lough Swilby lives a family named Roulstone.
One day their grandmother bought a Grandfather clock, and from she bought it, it never worked.
One day it struck one, and after that came a letter saying their uncle was dead.
So if any relative of the family died it always struck one.
I think the clock can be seen there yet.
