- 153In Fortunes' knock in Norrismount there is a Fairy sceog or lone bush, and the fairies are seen often at night dancing around it. People hear music sometimes from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock at night. People are afraid to go near it after dark.
A man named Tom Walsh went down one night to see the cows. He heard noise in the turnip field and he looked in. He saw little white animals like guinea-pigs. He went up to Fortune's and told P. J. Ryan. They went back with a lantern and they saw them again. They followed them and they disappeared into a hole.John Redmond.
