    who died was buried in Cloghan.
    There was a captain Scanlan who lived in Cloghan. In the middle of the night captain Scanlan went on horseback to the graveyard and took the corpse of the Protestant and threw it into the river Finn. When it came to Stranorlar it stopped floating. After this all the Protestants were buried in Stranorlar.
