Stories re Lake Sheelin
(a) Funeral
I heard a story about Lake Sheelin recently.A curate who was in Ballinarry told the congregration one Sunday that no one was to sail on Lake Sheelin.
He told them that he saw a funeral crossing it and three red lights and every seventh year since a drowning takes place on it. I heard that story from a great many people.
Kathleen Thompson Lisnadarragh 14yrs. She heard the story from her grandmother.A Pot of Gold.
I heard a story about Lake Sheelin. They say that a pot of gold is to be seen resting on the bottom of the Lake on a glorious summer's day.
The pot is now old and rusty. There is a submerged platform leading from the mainland to Castle Island. I heard a man put chains on the pot and he and other men tried to pull it up but no one could move it. I heard this story from many people.
