    A string is supposed to be in front of the Ballymacoll House. If a person steps on it unawares a bell rings at night and all the ghosts are supposed to answer the call.
    A comb seen on the road is not picked up. Local belief is that it may have been the bean sidhe.
    Told by Carmel Rafferty (10 years)
    Heard from her mother (a native of the Parish)
