She was a swarthy woman and she was the owner of a white mare and two big dogs. Riding the mare and accompanied by the two dogs she used to cross the Erne every day to a forge on the opposite bank. One day the dogs returned home alone, Kate having been drowned and then this place was called Kate’s Falls. Her ghost has been seen by Mr. H. Lipsett Ballyshannon.
