There is an old white thorn bush (at Gavagan's) Cloonfinish and they used to spread the clothes on it. One night a woman came and said "Don't spread anymore clothes on that bush, there does be more clothes spread on that bush at night than you'd see in your townland". They ceased spreading the clothes on that bush.- Collector
