    Story.
    (Skerries, Co. Dublin.)
    Once upon a time two men from Skerries were going home with sacks of flour on their backs. They had to pass a small house which was haunted. As they were passing the house they heard dancing and singing inside inside. One man went on and the other man went to the window and looked in. He was still looking in the window two days later.
