- One night there were two men coming up from Ballywilliam.
When they were up as far as the Skegh they heard the sound of a motor car. The kept in close to the ditch and what jumped out only a big white woman. The ran as fast as they could and the woman followed them. After a while they looked behind and they saw a big black dog coming after them. When they came as far as Morans lane they saw a man dressed in black. It was said to be the school master that was killed in the lane long ago.
