    The White Woman's Hollow.
    There is a hollow in the road about four miles south of Bunclody, and near Ballycarney. It is called the White Woman's Hollow, because a white woman is seen there riding a white horse at twelve o'clock at night. They say that a woman was killed there and that the white woman is her ghost. She is seen crossing the road from one ditch to the other. When twelve o'clock strikes she will disappear, and will not be seen until the next night. A man named Michael Byrne of Clohamon is supposed to have seen her.
