    My father gave me the following story.
    In Francis Bohan's field in the townland of Drumgowna there was a ghost seen very often.
    Every time it appeared it was in the shape of a hand with a Rosary beads in it.
    A number of people gathered with a priest to question the ghost and after than it was never seen again.
