Once there was a man, He lived in Coolrain. The people called him the old pensioner. He was always in the public house. One night he was drunk. There were other men there and they were also drunk. They made a coffin out of a big box and they put this man into it. Before they put the lid on the man asked for a half gallon of Beer. One of the men said hammer on the lid he spoke too late. They them brought him across the fields to Anatrim graveyard. They buried him there. His grave is still to be seen. His ghost was seen in that public house on night by a man that is alive still.
