What scary story is told in your area/town?

It can be based in fact or fiction, what is a story that tends to always make the rounds in your area. Around Schull, Cork a story that is always told is about Sophie Toscan du Plantier and how she was killed one night with a rock. That was one of the first stories about the area told to me when I moved there.

My grandmother terrorised us as kids with the story of either a British Soldier or Tan captured injured during the war of independence around the border between Roscommon and Longford as he was being taken across the Shannon on a winter night he realised he was going to be thrown from a small boat into the river and left to drown.

He screams can apparently be heard on winters night during stormy weather.

Used to always talk about Hunter Gowan and how he would get you around certain parts, headless horseman style from what I remember, been a long time since I've thought of that, in wexford by the way
