    LOCAL GHOST STORY
    Long ago a man named Tim Moynihan lived in Imogane, near Churchtown. He was returning home late one night. As he was passing Mount Corbett Gate [a place two miles from Churchtown] he met a funeral coming down the avenue. There were four small fairy men carrying a coffin. When the man came home that night his mother was dead. It was said that the little men were carrying her corpse to Kilbrin graveyard.
