He couldnt get home, nor could he know where he was.

When he came to himself, where would he be sitting only on a tombstone in Killaduff graveyard. - Another man from Corlough went astray in broad day light, because he happened to get in on a fairy pass on the green hill in Drumbar
He was seen wandering about, and it took the neighbours a long time to bring him to, and to ensense him into his where-abouts. And when they brought him too, he knew the Good People were at work on him.
