- Near the school at Lossett there is a bridge where it is said a ghost appears. A man who lived on the hillside nearby was supposed to hang himself on a tree beside the bridge. When a cardplayer was coming home across "Aldaragh bridge" as is its name, he saw a black dog cross the road thrice in his way. He grew afraid and shouted on the dog to go away but it seemed to disappear and those who heard it feared to use the bridge by night.
