- Patrick Lyons who lived in Ardlougher was haunted by a ghost. When he used to go to bed he always had to keep a hook beside him. When the ghost would come to the bed he had to keep him beaten back with the hook. The priest had to come in the end. He put the ghost out of the house in the presence of six neighbouring men.
When he had him on the door step he asked any of the men who would wish to see him to leave his hand on his right shoulder. None of them would venture to so do. He sent him over to the County Leitrim convenient to New Bridge chapel where he is still.
