Here is a few little stories on our ghostly friends for Halloween, written by our local Fenor Historian. The baidhb, like the beansidhe, was regularly seen on the roads around Fenor.

She was a ghost-like woman with a long drawn face who drifted from place to place screeching at the top of her voice.

She was dressed in white and was very frightening to see or hear. She was regularly seen on the Kilfarrasy road near the little bridge and also between Fenor Church and the School. Over in Ballyscanlon she was seen at the Baidhbe’s Rock, which is on the ditch near the entrance to the forestry.

The baidhbe also roamed the road near Annestown Bridge. She was seen near the church at Reisk and she floated up and down the main road at Islandtarsney. So if anyone happens to be brave enough to still walk these roads late at night, keep your eyes open!
