- One dark night, a man from Cross was going to Mullagh and when he was going up near Kelly’s Church, (Teample Ceallaigh)he thought he saw a white woman going across the road.
When he was nearly past, he looked around and he found a light step coming behind him.
He looked back and he saw a woman in white walking behind him.
The man ran back and tried to catch her but she disappeared through the hedge into the graveyard.
He did not see her again and he went home and went to bed.
He died in a week afterwards.
