    Told by Dennis Keating Hollyhill Age 74 years
    Written by Kathleen Keating
    There lived a family in Aughadown in olden times. The father died, and the night of the wake his son was trying to put his horse into the stable and he would not go in. He beat him and whipped him, but it was no use.
    He went in and lit a match. As he went in, four of the tallest men he had ever seen walked out the door and west the yard.
