- Some people say there was always a ghost seen above at Casú. One night as Jim Devaney was going to Swinford he saw an old woman standing out on the road at Casú. She had no shoe on and her clothes were only coming to her knees. He got afraid and when he looked again she had disappeared. Then he was walking and he did not know where he was going to.
