  1. (continued from previous page)
    One night as he was coming home from his "ceile" he met an old woman with a broken leg. She caught him and threw him on the ground; the ground opened and the man fell in to the great hole and was never seen since.
    Sometimes people say they can hear him crying in under the ground but they don't know where he is.
