    Folklore.
    I heard a good deal of old stories which my Grandfather told me.
    He said a white woman very often appeared in Lough Neagh lake and she was always crying and one night and lads were coming home from cuaird she was still crying and one boy cursed her.
    So every night afterwards the white woman came screaming to his bedside and the boy hung himself.
