    There were many houses in former times of which only ruins remain now. About twenty people emmigrated to America from all the houses. The place is covered with hills and bog and bad. There are many woods round here but only one has a name, it is called Johnson's wood because a woman called Johnson lived there. It is about a quarter of a mile long and the womans ghost is still seen by the superstitious people.
