    Ghost Story
    One night about forty years ago two men from Kiltobranks were coming from visiting. They were two brothers. One of their hat's blew inside the ditch. He went inside for it. He was just crossing Rooskey Bridge when they saw a light coming towards them It was late in the night and they were afraid.
