  1. Once a man was coming home from a fair in Crossmoliona. He was drunk. When he was passing by a house he heard people cardplaying inside and quarelling. He was just going in when the house fell, all the people that were inside were killed and the man came safe. He went and told the people about the men that got killed. They all gathered in and buried them.
