- One time there lived a man in Tyrone. He was out walking on a hallow-een night, he met the fairies. They were carrying a coffin. They told him they were going to a place called Templemoyle to bury the corpse. They took him with them and made him help them to carry the coffin all the way. When they came to the place where they were to bury the corpse they told him this was a place called Innishowen and that man they buried belongs to Innishowen and that they took him from there when he was a little boy.
Then they took the man home again and it was day-break when he came to his house. He was so tired that he could not get out of bed for a week.Collected by Patrick McLaughlin Camata Malin
