Young Reenie was living high on her whiles for a long time until she met a man named Rony. Rony was not a very attractive man and in fact he was quite funny looking. He looked as much like a horse as a man. Reenie became quite enamored of Rony and he used her body and her money quite liberally. That was until one day a gypsy woman saw the couple in the street and cried out, "Holy Saint Anna-fer God, Reenie, where did ye pick up like ave him? He's a pooka."
A pooka is a creature who is fairy kind. They are a fearful kind of creature that can change and bend shapes at will. They are mischievous and delight in the mayhem they cause. The most famous pook was Puck from a Midsummer's Night Dream.
After that, Reenie and Rony separated. It wasn't long after this that Reenie found herself with child. Reenie seemed to believe that Rony was a pooka who had enchanted her and she became desolate and terrified. She didn't want to bare a pooka child. So Reenie went to the shore of Lough Feeagh at dawn and walked out into the icy water. She walked and walked until she was submerged. With the light of dawn, Reenie's beautiful body could be entangled in the reeds of the still water.
Whether or not Reenie was really pregnant with a pooka aside, there are those that believe her ghost still wanders the shores of Lough Feeagh. Since that time it is said that the ghost of Reenie McCosky returns every year at the anniversary of her death. She walks back into the icy water and drowns herself. Others say that her ghost can be found there at other times and that she sometimes slaps those that wander to close to her on the cheek.
