- About two and a half miles from the town of Gort lives Mrs Glynn in a place called Loughnashaughnessy. She told me a week ago, that every night she can hear the Lipreachan mending the fairie's shoes, and when she is in bed blue lights appearin the house. Every May Eve she sees the fairied flying up in the air and dancing.
About twenty years ago, her brother was out visiting a neighbour's house, and when he was coming home at twelve o'clock a fairy followed him, and when he was at the door he fainted, and the cock crew three times and the fairy disappeared.
