- One night about eighty years ago a man named Paddy Gillies was coming through some fields in Hilltown. He was carrying a buck of bacon on his back and as he walked along he heard people cheering as if they were playing football but he could see nothing. Some were shouting "Who will give it the next kick." And others were shouting "Who but Paddy Gillies with the back of the bacon on his back. It was supposed to be the Good People. Many other people heard them through the same fields.
