  1. There was a man lived in Raheenahone named Patrick Carens. One night he dreamed of a treasure being hidden inside the gate of Ballybrennan Church yard. He told three men about it, and they got tools and holy water, and went to look for the treasure.
    They had just started to dig for the treasure when a woman dressed in white came out of the walls of the old church. They shook the holy water and went home.
