- The following story was told by Mrs O Neill Lisnashanna.
One night her father was coming home late. When passing a fort near his home he heard the most beautiful fairy music. He hurried home, got his flute, returned to the fort and was able to "take off" the lovely tune. Some time afterwards he was persuaded by some neighbours to play the tune for them. This was the last time he ever it. Something is supposed to have happened him but he never told even his own family what it was.- Collector
