- A ghost storyOn the old road between Nenagh and Birr there is a cross called Rapla Cross. This is supposed to be a haunted place because there was a man named Clarke shot there. Here is a story about it.One night a man was walking along home from Nenagh. It was a dark night. When he came to the cross he felt very nervous. He was walking along and just as he came to the cross and was about to pass it when suddenly a big lake appeared before him.The man was frightened and turned back and to his surprise the lake was still before him. All night long he wandered about the cross and no matter where we went the lake was still before him. When the morning came the lake vanished and the man came on home.
