In the townland of Ardnageehy, and a couple of miles from the village of Watergrasshill, there is a cross-roads known locally as "Crosaire na gCon". A ghost in the form of a greyhound used to frequent this spot. She hunted several people, and was such a terror in the locality that the people called on the parish priest - one Fr. Falvey- to banish the ghost.
He lay in wait one night and after a severe contest routed the animal which never appeared in this spot afterwards but the priest himself died within a week. This ghost is very generally spoken of in this locality and known as "Petticoat Loose".

Mrs. Riordan (see p. 37) said she was a woman who died after the birth of a child without being "Churched" but the name is known in other parts as well. One man told me that when he was a boy he was returning from a funeral at Glanworth (near Fermoy) and the older men who were with him took him over a fence on the way home to show him a big stone "that "Petticoat Loose" there from the top of Beinn-na-Sgeithe"
