  1. About 60 years ago there died a man. The day he died there was a man coning from rambling. As he was passing by the grave-yard he saw a light shining who was it but two neighbouring girls skinning the man. He said "good luck to the work". The two girls followed him with the dagger to stick him for fear he would tell on them. He knew a narrow spot of the Moy and he jumped it. He went back the next morning he got the dagger stuck in the track of his heel.
