  2. About 60 years ago a man named Roger Collins who lived in Rathanny ([?]) near here used to go with the Good People (Fairies) every night.
    He used to go night-walking to a neighbour's house named John Collins. Every night just at 9 oclock a knock used to come to John Collin's door for him.
    There was a young girl from Rothanny ([?]) who died and he Roger used see her with the Good people riding on a horse. Roger used to return to his home at 6 oclock every morning.
