  1. Taken by the Fairies
    Traditional story told by John Scully of Bullaun, Co. Galway age 73.
    People were taken away by the "Good People" or the fairies long ago. Sure I can tell you a story about that. Wasn't my father at the funeral when it happened. I suppose ye all know Larchill up the road there.
    Well long ago a family was living there by the name of Murphy and they had one little girl about ten years of age. One day she was out picking "noneens". A woman came over to her and asked her for the flowers. Sure
