There was a man living in Coolnahay long ago and he used to go to the neighbor's house at night to ramble. He brother said that he would frighten him some night. He wrapped a white sheet round him and sat on the ditch where his brother used to pass. When the brother came along, he said "Oh! are there who of ya in it to-night"?
