- Once upon a time some girls and an old man were raking hay in a field in Cloonmore, Whitehall, Co. Roscommon. The old men in these days used to wear wigs. There came a whirl blast which blew all the hay away. One of the girls shouted 'Come back and bring Charley and his wig!' Going home that evening the girl went mad and the man hat to tie her down.
