- ConflagrationBallybay, Co. MonaghanA farmer's house (thatched) on the outskirts of Ballybay went on fire one morning about 45 years ago. Two workmen who passed by during the night before the fire broke out were surprised to see hordes of rats emerging from the thatch and making their way across the road. They recalled this incident to mind when they had heard afterwards about the fire. It is believed that the rates through some uncanny instinct were making their escape from an impending doom.
