- Once upon a time a man in Crossreagh went with his friend to Dublin and they went into a shop named Sheridans. There were a group of strangers in the shop. One of the men said that the other would not drink a point of whiskey. When he had the whiskey drank he died. Every night after Sunset no matter where the other man went he could see something following him everywhere. He got so frightened that one day when he was passing a lake he jumped into it and he was never seen again.
