- One night when Pat Duc Muckinagh was going to the fair with Dick Staley Bethlem. Dick was to leave the door open but he did not. So when Pat went down the door was locked. Then Pat went out to the carhouse and went into the car and lay down in it. He wasn't long in it until a big black pig came grunting round the car. Pat had to leave the car and had to go in and call Dick. The Stanleys had no black pig so it must be a fairy one.
This happened fifty years ago.- Collector
