A man riding a white horse was often seen passing by on the mountain foot [?] road too (i.e. the road from Anglesboro' to Galbally) and many people saw this man and his white horse out on Paradise Hill (i.e. a small hill overlooking Massy Lodge and beside Teampallín).

There was a little thatched house beside our well in Barnagurraha in which ancestors of mine lived and when they died it was occupied by another family. I was in the tumbling down of the house when I was a young fellow. A most peculiar thing about this house was that a cock would never live there. As fast as they got a cock he died again and that's the way it goes.
