- There now stands at Raclagh an old house which is supposed to be haunted. The man that built it was going home one night, when he got up in the trap he met a lot of people and they asked him who was the man he had in the trap with him.
When he went home he sat down and had his supper and went to bed and died. It is said that this man was killed off the top of the house.
