[?] Pairc na gcapall
There is a field in the townland of Garrclogher called [?] Pairc na gCapall. It is said that a horse used to be heard galloping around it on certain nights. The are men in the neighbourhood living at present who heard a horse galloping there.
There was a man stooking corn in one of the fields in the same farm late at night and a crowd of people came into the field and hunted him out of it.
This is a true story and there are people still living who can verify it.
