- The following story is often told around the fire on a Winter's night. It is said that one night two men were sleeping in Moyle's Mill, Inniskeen, Co. Monaghan, when they heard terrible noise in the kitchen. It was like the sound of sticks breaking. One of the men, Owen Dullaghan, lit a candle and it was put out on him. He lit it again and it was put out again. Then they heard the fire being lighted, and the water being put into the kettle.
