    MacGovern. Every night, there was a terrible noise.They went to the priest. When the priest came, he prayed for some hours. Then, he told them to upturn every thing in the house. When everything was upturned, the noise continued. When they searched, they found a thimble and the ghost under it. He said he would not go without a dog and grape. The priest drove him into the dog and stuck the grape into the dog.The ghost was never seen after. It was called Malavys ghost.
    There was a wman coming one night through Mullinadora lane. She met a man with a soldier's uniform on him. After he went by, she looked around and he was gone. There was a soldier killed in the lane some time ago.
