    Beliefs
    They had certain beliefs with regard to the weather. An old man who lives near me is seventy years of age. He believes that when "Flemin's Folly" looks near him there will be rain.
    An old woman who lives beside me believes that when she can see the doors of "Flemins Folly" (4 miles distant) there will be rain.
    Another old man believes that if he can see Owen Roes Terrace (5 miles distant) from Ardkill mountain there will be good weather.
