- Patrick Hand often helped to carry a coffin to Maybolge Graveyard. When a funeral crossed a certain stream near the graveyard any Gerigans in the procession hopped cross the ditch to avoid crossing the spot. It was believed they did this to avoid causing the Garrowog to rise again. She would destroy the whole country if she would rise.Saturday's moon will either burn or drown.
