- Ghost Stories
There were men playing at Grandfather's house one night. When they were going home, one of them had a joker in his pocket. The devil came out of the ground before them on the road on top of a hill. They had to turn back again to the house and stay there till daylight in the morning.
(Jim Mulligan - Fuinshinagh)
- At Flynn's in Coolagarry a ghost used come out every night & start kicking the wall & knocking the mortar off it. He used to go around the house kicking the pots & heading them.
