- Once upon a time a light was seen in Fallask Moor. People said it was a man that was killed at O'Donnells war and came back to do penance. The people told the priest and he said to leave it alone. One night a man named Pat Mulhern was coming from a dance and he saw the light. He watched it until it came near him. It passed him by and went up the hill caoining [?]. So it is not there now. It is only there in winter
