A man named Bartle Cassidy, Killfannon, Co. Meath was coming home from a card-playing one night. When he was coming by Drumbulrisk Fort he saw a tall thin man and a few little ones round him standing on the edge of the fort. They came down and enticed him into the fort. They pushed him in and the place was all lit up with fairy lights.
