- There is a lake about two hundred yards from our house. It is known as the White Lake, its proper name being Annagh Lake. There is a large island there and it is covered with thistles and ferns. It is believed that any person who passes by that lake after eleven o'clock at night will hear music, and singing, or sometimes people are heard churning or washing clothes.
