There was another night and Charles Ward of Eglish was coming from Tullynaha and he saw a lot of lights round about him, and he could see nobody. At last he saw a small man with a red coat and a red cap and woman with a red cloak and a red cap two[?] too. The lights led him on till he came to the brook at Sweeney,s in Tullynagrena.

He went in and he did not know who was sitting in the corner till Peter told him.- Collector
