- About sixty years ago, a girl named Sally Murphy was staying with her uncle and aunt. It was on a May morning, and she had to go out to the hill to look about sheep.
When she was about half way up, she saw a man coming towards her. She ran, and he ran, and when she reached the end of the house she saw that he was still coming.
On entering the kitchen she told her uncle and aunt. From that day to this, Sally never went out to the hill to look about sheep.
This all happened in Duntarson.
