- About two miles from my home there is a tree. This tree is situated on the road leading to Raharney. Many years ago a man hanged himself at this tree. This tree was not to be cut but it was cut by some person. After a while a big black dog was seen sitting on the top of the bank of the tree. Several people saw him and he was supposed to be a ghost.

- For many years there was a white rabbit to be seen at Dysant. Men and dogs often chased it but could not catch it and people said that it is a fairly rabbit.
