- Daniel Sullivan's daughter of of Glentrasna was working in Cloherane. One day the girl and a few others were out saving hay. A whirlwind came. As it was passing her she got a sting on her neck and she got evil on it. She went to doctors but she could not be cured. She got very sick and she was staying at her uncle's Michael Sullivan (Green) who was living in Derryloughy. He made the sign of cross on it three mornings fasting. He cured her as he was the seventh son.
