  1. (continued from previous page)
    years last New Years night a man named Bat Mullins of "Leathcoill" was returning from a visit very late. He saw a lot of athletes playing football in that field. They could run as swiftly as a deer and could jump a great height. This was very late. He saw another man and he called him but they suddenly vanished out of his sight, and the other man could not see them at all.
