   which used to be used years ago and which are of great service still. There is a short-cut which runs from Drimlatafin road through hills and fields to the Drimnacapple road. This path serves as a short-cut for the Drimlatafin people going to Frosses, and it is also useful for children going to school. There is also a short-cut from the Keelogs road through the hills to the Ardaghy road. This path is useful for Drimlatafin people going Ardaghy chapel. There is about half an hour of difference in these paths and the road.
   The people of this district say that there is a ghost at the crossroads where the Killian road joins the Corraduffy road. There were two girls and a man coming over the Killian road one night and they saw bush on fire. But when [the?] they looked at it the next morning it was there the same as before. Two other people saw a ring of lights dancing through the fields beside that crossroads.
