    No other people are buried there except a member of the Corridon family. A light is seen somewhere in the district which foretells death to some one of the Corridons - here, or America, or any other country where one of them dies. The Ban or a Caoine is also heard before the death of them. When one of the Corridons die it is said that three others of the same name will be buried there within the year.
