    A banshee is heard around Moybolg (Tierworker, Bailieboro) graveyard until this present day. It goes around the graveyard and up to Carriga Rocks and from Carriga to Rosemount and then to Clugga lake. In this lake there is a bell which rings every seven years. It is supposed to be the bell which was in St. Patrick's church of Moybolg long years ago. There is also a bright light which goes from place to place and no one knows what it is.
