   A young man named McGarry was riding a horse one moonlight night along the Coach Road (main road Longford to Ck-on-Shannon) near Rosskey, when a young lady in white approached him and asked for a lift or a seat.

She said it was alright but that she'd be before him at the stream (a spot on the road side between Barnacoola Parish Church and John Reynolds Public House Knockadroman Johnston Bridge). The water formed a little pond here before crossing under the road in a pipe a gullet.)
