- There was once a place where there be a fairy seen every night. Mant people were frightened by that fairy and many people died when they saw her. One night the priest came, and when he saw the fairy he began to pray after a while the fairy began to cry, but the priest kept praying and he drove the fairy down through the road in a ball of fire. The following night a man came to see if the fairy was there but there was nothing there only a tall twig growing on the top of ditch.James FennellTold byMrs. Johanna Fennell,
