- A Ghost seen between Timoleague and Clonakilty about fifty years ago a red haired woman was seen on the road for several nights about ten pm near Ashgrove between Timoleague and Clonakilty. She molested all persons passing by and one man died a short time after he had arrived home. His body was black and blue when he was dead. A priest was told about what occurred and he went to the scene and read some prayers and sent the woman in a blaze of fire into the sea and she was never seen after.
