- Once upon a time there was a man named James Gailey living in Rathdonnell. He was a very strong man, because he was able to lift a thirty stone bag of corn on his back and put it down from his back unto a horse's back.
- About twenty years ago there was a man named Sam Long, hired with James Mc.Cay, Rathdonnell. One day they were up on Socker hill cutting turf and a hare ran past. He said to the rest of the men that he would soon catch that hare. He took off his shoes and ran after her. She went only a little but when she sat down and he caught her.
