  1. Lios

    Share Share Post
    Near my home a lios is situated. It is said that in this lios, there is a hole shaped like a chimney. It is said that down in this hole a crock of gold is hid. Anyone would not go down for the gold because everynight fairies are seen there.

  2. Langley's Lios

    Share Share Post
    A field from my house Langley's lios is situated. Every night about ten oclock lights like stars are seen around the lios. Two lights like motor lights are seen about five yards from the ground over the flat roof. Some people say that a woman used to cast lights and the lights are seen since.
