  1. Not many miles from my home a lios is situated and alot of old people say that gold is to be got there.
    During the war a man by the name of "Red Buttons" went to the lios and got some gold, but he had no peace any night until he brought back the gold where he got it. The old people used to say to him, the fairies were after him and he used to say "I will have that gold yet"
    Any people would not go for the gold in case the fairies would capture them and turn them into fairies by spells.
