- A Gost Story
In Roveagh there is a man named John Niland. He has a big field near the church. He had a big pit of potatoes in the field. One evening he went for a bucket of potatoes. He was carrying a bucket. When he was about to fill the bucket a voice came from the pit saying "keep away from here". John Niland dropped his bucket and ran away. No potatoes were ever put their again. It is a big field now, untilled.
