- In the townland of Lake-view in the parish of Moylough, in the land of John Doyle there is a large flat stone about three feet square with the impression of a human hand clearly outlined on it.
The fingers are about one inch deep and take up nearly all the stone.
I have sought information from many people both young and old but I have found none. - On the twenty eight of May nineteen-hundred-and twenty-two the fair day of Moylough a man named John Barret of Corgary was returning home from the fair at eleven o'clock at night and when he was near a large chestnut tree he saw a very tall man about seven feet in height standing under it. The man spoke to him but he did not answer.
The man fainted and he died four days later.- Collector
