“Anthony McNulty a workman in Rosserk House belonging to Mr George Petrie...”
Anthony McNulty a workman in Rosserk House belonging to Mr. George Petrie went into the yard one morning too early for work. He lay down in the hay and while he was lying a big heavy load like a giant pounced down on him, he couldn't get up, each time he tried to get up he felt the weight bearing him down. When daylight came he was able to rise, and there was nothing to be seen.
