- Long ago there lived an old man in Roveagh. He used to live by himself in a little house. After a while he died. He was buried in Killeely. Every night afterwards for about a fortnight it was said that his ghost used to appear and walk around his grave. This continued for about a fortnight and then the priest of the parish came and said prayers over the grave. After that his ghost was never seen. It was said that this man never went to confession for a long time, and that his ghost used to appear every night doing penance for his sins.
