    where a person was killed without throwing three stones on the heap or "carnán". They also say that if you fall three times in a graveyard on the same day, that you would be dead before the year was out.
    When burying a dead person they place him facing the rising sun. There is one vauld in Kilmurray Graveyard owned by a family in our town. They say that no rat can enter a graveyard.
