- About 50 years ago a large black dog used to cross the road at Carly's Turn, a few yards from Kiltegan village, at about 12 o'clock every night. If you were passing by at the time that he was crossing you would have to stand, or if you did not do so you would be knocked down.
It was said in the olden times that the figure of a woman dressed in white used to cross the road at Borkle cross roads, parish Kiltegan, at twelve o'clock at night. About 50 years ago a white horse was supposed to have been seen in the middle of the night at Borkle cross roads, parish of Kiltegan. He was supposed to have ornaments hanging out of him which used to keep rattling.
