- About fifty years a priest was coming from a sick call and he was stopped by a woman. She had a can of milk with her. The priest asked what she wanted or where she was coming from. She did not answer him but the can fell out of her hand and she turned into a big black woman with a white hat on her head. She would not let the priest pass. He prayed and prayed that she would go and he went down to a bridge named "Drumcree Bridge". The woman disappeared into the bridge and the priest did not get home until morning.
