- Once upon a time a certain woman wished to be buried with her husband in Ballingarry and her parents wished her to be buried in their own burial ground . On going to mass one Sunday morning she collapsed on the way.
When dying she said to her family to bury her along-side her husband , and they obeyed her. Just at midnight on the following night the corpse was taken back to Darragh .
Several people of this locality heard the noise and the rattling of the chains.- Collector

- At the Green church -yard which is now closed for burial purposes there is a stone.
This stone is said to cure calves . If a calf dies from any disease this stone can be placed in a trough out of which the calves eat, it is said that no more of the calves will die.
