“Long ago there used to be a ghost seen at the Channeleen by local people.”
Long ago there used to be a ghost seen at the Channeleen by local people. It used to pass there in the form of a woman dressed in black.
There was a ghost at Annagh Bridge long ago. People that were supposed to have seen him said that he was a weaver. He used to pass over the bridge with a big load of threas on his back. It is said that he wronged people out of thread and that he was doing penance by carrying the load.
There used to be two greyhounds seen at midnight near Poul -a - Freestone hill. The people said that they were devils and that they would chase you.
