In the early 19th century, a young cook named Ryan worked in a lumber camp near the Dungarvon River. One day the cook died, probably murdered by the camp boss, while the men were working in the woods. The men returned during a severe snow storm and they buried Ryan's body in a shallow grave. A series of whoops and screams continued all that night and all the next day driving the men from camp never to return. The whooping was heard in the area for several years until Father Murdoch, a priest from Renous, blessed the grave. For the complete story see:
