- One night while three men of the O Connors were torching in their own fort in Duxtown they saw a large white animal dashing through the fort. All the birds that were there, flew out. This animal kept running before the men until it disappeared. The old people of the OConnors used tell of many strange tales of this fort. Strange music was suppose to be heard there at night and the figure of a man clothed in black was supposed to haunt it.
