    On my grandfather's farm at Ballybay there is a large fairy fort.It is said it was built the time of the Danes in Ireland for shelter.It is surrounded with trees and has a little slope in the middle of it and in the slope there is a cave and beside it there is a black cat.
    It is said that bleed? a young sheep and put the blood on a tray beside her she will come out and sup it and you can shoot her and if you do not shoot her she will kill you.
