- Long ago in a place near the Faythe school there was a stone and there was grass growing on it. It is said that there was a nun killed there and when she fell grass grew there. After a couple of years some men cemented it to keep the grass from growing and in a couple of days the grass grew again. It is said that from the night the nun was killed she is to be seen at twelve o clock of every night going from the Faythe school to the north station and back again.
