- The Hidden Treasure at Bansha Church: A group of men dreamt of gold buried near an old church; they arranged to dig early one morning, but upon arriving found another seeker, Mr Dalton, already there with pots of gold, claiming it as his second successful visit, while later arrivals from Tipperary searched in vain.
- The Buried Gold at Clonpet Castle: In the Castle field near Tipperary town, treasure was believed hidden beneath the ruins of an ancient castle; men dug one night until reaching a large flagstone, but supernatural forces or fear prevented them from lifting it and claiming the hoard.
- The Holy Well at Latteragh: In the parish of Latteragh, a sacred well attracts pilgrims for its curative powers; tradition links it to ancient blessings and rounds performed there, with stories of miraculous healings passed down through local families.
- Fairy Forts and Their Warnings: Numerous ring forts, such as those in Lisboney near Nenagh and Ballynakill, are revered as fairy dwellings; tales warn of lights seen at night, music heard, and misfortune befalling anyone who damages the mounds or cuts the surrounding bushes.
- The Banshee Heard in Local Rath: In certain districts, the banshee is associated with ancient raths, where her cries and sightings of lights foretell death; older residents recounted hearing her wail near tree-covered mounds, combing her hair as an omen for specific families.
