- The people in older times would not leave out their cows on May Day night for fear the produce of the year would be taken from them and they could not make any butter. It is said that if you saw a red haired woman on May Day morning that you would not have any luck for the year. It is said that the old would not give away the milk on May Day.
- A man once spread manure on a Liss and when he had it spread he got blind. There was another man with him and he went to the priest and told him what happened. The priest advised him to get the man to take all the manure out of the Lios again. The man did this and his friend got back his sight as soon as he had the Lios cleared of manure.
