- A man who lived on the Rocks Road was going home late one night. He heard soldiers marching behind him and when he turned around he saw Cromwell and his soldiers and they were all headless. Some of them were carrying a coffin. Cromwell ordered them to "halt" and he told them to put the coffin on the man's shoulders and make him carry it to the top of the hill. When they came to the top of the hill they took the coffin from the man and they all rode away.
