  1. One dark night a man from Bross was going to Mullagh and when he was going yp near Mullagh graveyard, he thought he saw a white woman going across the road. He was passing Kelly's church and he went round and he found a light stop coming behind him. He looked back and he saw a woman dressed in white coming behind. The man went back and tried to catch the woman but she went through the hedge into the graveyard. The man did not see her anymore and he went home and went to bed and he died in a week after.
