The Killer Woman of Ballingeary
Road towards Droumanallig, Ballingeary
On a stretch of road towards Droumanallig, about 300 metres west of Ballingeary, a spine-tingling legend has been etched into local folklore. They call her the Killer Woman, a female phantom with a deadly obsession - she'll stop at nothing to pose a riddle that must be answered correctly, or else. The challenge is to respond with a clever couplet to the enigmatic phrase 'A candle and a candlestick there is, and you fit a couplet to that'. Many have failed to meet her demands, with fatal consequences.
