    A story is told in this locality of two boys who stole a bag of apples one night. They went into Edraguil grave yard to divide them but one apple fell out at the gate.
    A man coming along heard voices in the grave yard he stood in great fear listening to what was going on as he thought it was two ghosts.
    The boys were counting the apples one for you and one for me until they came to the last one. The one of them said what about the one at the gate and he made off thinking it was he they spoke off.
