- A short distance from Lemonfield house there is a ruin which is said to be haunted.One night about 60 years ago a few boys were camping out in Blackbog which lies in the vicinity. About midnight they were awakened by singing and laughter so they agreed to go and see what was happening.The boys arose and went in the direction of the old ruin for it was from the direction the sound seemed to come. On reaching the ruin however they found that the laughing and singing was coming from a pond among some trees. They hastened to the pond and no sooner had they arrived there than they saw a boat afloat on the water, with four or five ladies in it. The boys soon forgot about the incident and thought it was the Russell ladies from Lemonfield house.On the next day they inquired about the matter and found out that it was no loving beings they saw.
