    Share Share Post
    About twenty years ago a man was coming home from a friend's house in (p) Fenagh, at about one o' clock one night. This road that he was walking on was convenient to a fort.
    As he was passing by the fort he heard singing and dancing in it, the loveliest ever he heard. He also heard a girl's voice whom he knew well.
    Then the man went home and told his wife what he heard. In a few days that girl died.
