  1. One night a man called and told my grandfather to get up at three o'clock at night and go down to the Castle (Castletown near Curraghboy) and he'd get a pot of gold but that one of the family would die before he'd get it. He didn't go. (Collected by Jim Mulligan Funshinagh from his grandfather Jim Kelly Coolagarry)

  2. In Kilcash there is a well. One day a girl went to the well for water. There was a ghost on the steps before her. She went home for her father when they came back he was gone.
