- There is an old farm and house near Ballydaniel More it is a dreary place.
It is an old thatched house, people used to say there was a ghost in the house.
When the people were in bed they would hear him smoking a pipe and blowing the fire. The children used to be very frightened But the father and mother did not mind it. It was going on for a long time, every night the same thing used to happen.
One morning when they got up all the farm animals were dead. They left the house and nobody has lived in it since.
