  1. This is the story of a ghost which was lately seen on the road to Ballintra Stalion. She was a small woman with a white cloth around her head.

    One dark night a woman was coming home and she met the small woman. The woman said “good night” and the small woman began to cry. The woman ran to a near by house, and they could hear the small woman crying. She can be seen tearing off the ropes off the corn stacks. This happened about three weeks ago.
