    Years ago there was a girl crossing the fields. She saw a light coming towards her. After some time the light went out by her side. She could see no one carrying the light. Then she looked behind her and she could see no light anywhere.

    Once there was a family named Delaneys. One day they were on the bog. One of the men said that the woman of the house was calling them to their dinner. They all went home to their dinner except one man. This man stayed in the bog. He got the pot of Gold and went home. Ever since that family is said to be wealthy. They live near Camross.
