  1. There was a man in Cahirkeem long ago and he never believed in Ghosts. One day he was going to the hill and when he was going west he saw a Ghost driving a cow into a big black rock, and when the Ghost came to the rock he disappeared. The rock is now called the comhla bhreac. The man got so frightened that he never went to the hill any more until he died.
