- (continued from previous page)Once upon a time a woman named Mrs Loftus from Carramaglough came for water to the well. She caught a fish and brought him home. At that time people used to fry fish on tongs. She put him on the tongs and he did not fry. After a while he jumped off the tongs and fell on the floor. She got frightened and brought him back again. The track of the tongs was burnt on his back and he is to be seen there since. It is said that anyone who has a disease and sees this fish is cured. It is also said that there is a fish in St Patricks well, which is outside Ballina and anyone who can see him is cured if they have a disease.
