   A Ghost
   The woods around Summerhill are supposed to be haunted by a Ghost called "Squalling Sean". He was a kennel man in Summerhill long ago. He came in one night & vexed the dogs in some way so they turned on him and ate him, leaving no trace.Every night since you are supposed to hear his Ghost calling the dogs through the woods. People say "If you don't hurry home you will hear squalling Sean."
