- A local ghost story
Once upon a time a man who used to play cards in Ballybro used to go home along a path. His way led across a style. Some men heard him say that he often saw a ghost near the style. The man boasted that he used never be afraid when he say the ghost and these men said they would frighten him.
One of them dressed himself in white and stood by the style. After a while the man came along and when he saw the man dressed in white and the real ghost he said Oh! there are two of you in it tonight. The man who was dressed in white looked around and when he saw the ghost he fainted.
