- About sixty years ago there was a man and he murdered his wife, his father and all he left was his baby and then he hung himself.
Once upon a time a long time ago there was a man fishing in Lough Astural and he fell in and was drowned. One day there was a girl and she was walking on ice and it split under her feet and she went down in the water and another girl went in and saved her but she was nearly drowning.
