- I head a story about a man in the Parish of Dysart who was coming home from cuairt one night and he heard a great noise inside the wall. He stepped up on the dyke and he saw a lot of small men run out from under the wall. They were playing music and when they were all out they stopped. Then he walked away and he heard it again. He stood again. When he did he was stuck to the road and left there until morning.
- In Trinaderry ghosts or fairies were seen. It is a very big house and there is concrete all round it. Every night fairies were heard dancing and walking on the concrete. They were heard round the house too.(continues on next page)
