  1. A big old house
    8. 4 38'
    Near Leabacally are the ruins of a big house. People of the neighbourhood say it is haunted. A farmer took away stones from it to build a house and he soon fell ill. No one has anything to do with this house since that happened.
    On the other side of the river across from the house there is a mill. It is a rather strange mill for it was never any use. It cannot be worked in Winter when the river is flooded, and in Summer it cannot be worked for the river is dry.
