- When a woman was watering her cattle one day at Buncom Lake she saw the body of a person cleaving its way through the water going from east to west. In two days after there was a boy out of my village drowned. It was on a Sunday and his father lay down to rest in a field and he fell asleep. The moment his son was drowned a terrible noise came and awakend him. When he awoke he went home and they had the news for him that his son was drowned. This lake is situated near "Cnoc and Cirruí Fort".
