- About fourteen years ago a cousin of mine named Michael Kelleher saw a mermaid in Banna strand, as he was gathering seaweed. She was a lovely maiden with long golden hair and she was combing it. She was half a woman and half a fish. It is said that anyone who sees her would be drowned. This man had a narrow escape from drowning the same day as he was collecting the seaweed, as his horse was drowned and himself was nearly drowned.
