    One Hallow Eve night a man, - I do not know his name was walking near this tree. He saw the lights in the tree. There were three lights like candles in a ring. The lights followed him. There was music heard at the tree that night also.
    There is another fairy tree in Hugh McMenamin of Belalts farm.
    A (witck) witck [sic] is supposed to have cast a spell on the tree. The tree is rotten. It is said that if anyone cuts down the tree or breaks a branch off it that some misfortune will happen to them.
