- Crosaire an Ghé There is a cross road (three roads) in the townland of Coolydoody, midway between Tallow and Ballyduff Village in centre of Tallow Parish.This was haunted by a ghost in the form of goose, for some years.It is told that a woman, on her way from Tallow market, carrying provisions, met the goose at the cross roads.Throwing her basket of provisions at the ghost goose, the woman was changed into a large goose egg.Some time after, the goose was said to be banished by a priest of the parish.Mrs. Davis,
