  1. The parish-priest of Castle Connor once was on a sick-call and his name was Fr Duffy. When he was going home he was stopped by two fairy men. They brought him in to the fort that is there, and they made him baptise the Fairy-children. It was not long after when he died. It was not long after when he died. It is also said that if you are taken by the fairies, take nothing they give you or if you do they can keep you, no matter what it is. Or if you see a spirit ask ask in God's name what do they want, but be sure and ask in God's name. Anyone that is born at twelve o clock on Christmas night has some sort of foreseeing byond others.
