    Fairy Rocks
    It was usual for people to go to the Glebe shore on Lough Swilly to gather sea weed at 3 or four oclock or the early hours of the morning. One day Neil Mc Laughlin, Glebe, wet down for that purpose and sat down on the top of a Bank, as the sea-weed was not in yet. A voice called "What are you doing there"? and at that a sound like a whole crowd laughing was heard. Neil went home - scared.
