  1. At a certain place about a mile from here there was a house in which ghosts were supposed to be seen.
    It was supposed that this house was built on the track on which the fairies had to go and that is why the fairies haunted it.
    I have heard a man often telling that when he would be coming from his ceilidhe he would see light in this house about two o' clock in the night and hear dancing and singing.
    The house that was supposed to be built on the fairies track was knocked down and no fairies have been ever seen in it since.
