  1. The White Lady of the Lone Bush
    On the way to Carbury about two miles from Edenderry there was once a Lone Bush, and in the roadside hedge near it for about three yards no bushes will grow, although several were planted at various times.
    About twelve o'clock at night a Lady dressed in white walks down the road and through the open space in the hedge. She stops at the place where the Lone Bush once was, and in the end disappears. She is known by the name of the White Lady.
