  2. My uncle Mr. Patrick Coleman who lives in Bolomore, Banleer told me the following story about two months ago.
    This story is about a man who lived in Bolomore. This man was working for a farmer for two years. The third year he built a new house.
    He had three men and two masons employed for eight months. Each night about two feet of the walls were felled.
    After a couple of nights they watched, but no one came to knock the walls.
    They were twelve months building the house, but it was never finished.
