    one by one men came around my grandfather until there was a crowd around him. Four of them were carrying a coffin. One of them said "Thomas Kelly we want you to carry this coffin to the graveyard" They put the coffin in the car and turned the ass on the road and went to the graveyard. Then they took out the coffin and told my grandfather to go home. He did not know where he was and at daybreak he knew he was near Portumna. Then he came home and saw no more fairies.
