- I went a few evenings ago to a man whose name is John McLaughlin. He is over 90 years of age. he lives in Drumaweir. He is living in Drumaweir these 40 years. I asked him did he know any folklore. He told me he did. This is what he told me. There is an old place in Ballybrack hill. There is an old place where soldiers had their cave. This cave is between Drumaweir and Ballybrack Hill. The soldiers were so bad in olden times. One night one hundred went to a place, down beside Johnny Kelly's park an made a hole there and an lot of water came there. So some of the priests and people were drowned. And from that on there were a lot of ghosts to be seen
