   There was a woman one time lived in Drumgain beyond & she was in bed sick after having a baby when she looked out through a window & seen about 32 little lads playing cricket & she kept looking at them for a long time but in the latter end she lay down & fell asleep & they came laughing & tearing at the door but the next day her child was gone. She had no child at all so she went to the priest & went everywhere but after about 3 days the child was left back but it was a different child altogether so it happened a year or so after before she brought down the clergyman & told him & he got back her own child for her.
