- There is an old ruin situated near my house called Lake View. Many ghost stories have been told about this place, and there are a few of them told in this book. The man that owned this place was called "Mr Weir". He had seven children three girls and four boys.
There was a Parson who came each night to the place and the old man did not like this and he thought of a plan to kill him, so he did and put him into a large casket and threw him into Lough Arrow.
This man was a very cruel man.
