- There is a bush in our farm and it is called the "Music Bush".
Every night from about twelve to two there used to be a light seen rising out of the bush and over to the house and around the chimney and back to the bush again.
This happened every night till at last the people of the house got afraid and they sent for the priest and the priest came and put it into the bush and it was never seen out again.
