- A priest used to go to a rock to say mass near Rathcormac, Co. Cork. One day the landlord brought his gun to the corner of the avenue and he waited there to shoot the priest when he would be passing. But when the priest passed the landlord's hands were dead and his feet were tied to the ground and he wasn't able to shoot. He stayed that way until the priest was gone away to safety.
