  1. Once upon a time a woman was living at Baim.
    One day a fairy woman came into her and told her that fairy people would visit her. But (she) the house-hold got so much afraid that they left Baim.
    Baim is one of the hills of ours which lies west of the main road, on the way to Carndonagh. The fairy woman departed and never was seen again. The people also never returned.
