- One cold night about twelve O Clock, when a man who lived in Corfad was coming home off his ceilide. He heard something like a blast of wind coming down the road. When it came nearer he saw it was a thing like a cart with no wheels on which two men with no heads sat and the road shook when it was going by. People say it was a dead coach that that would start in an old grave yard near Mullagh and come down the road every night.
There is a little house in Mullagh graveyard and people say it was used by people long ago when they would be watching their dead after them being buried.- Collector
