    A Fairy Path.
    This happened in a field near your own house, a few years ago. A man was after missing the last bus from O'Connell Bridge an' had t' walk home.
    He was taking a shortcut across the fields. It was about half one in the mornin' when 'e came to this field.
    He jumped across the fence an' walked into de field.
    He walked on a stray sod and couldn't get out of the field till mornin'.
