  1. One night as I was coming down the Backagh road. I saw a big light. It was travelling about the speed of a bicycle and was up high in the sky. It was also travelling up and down along the Markree demesne wall. It rose about Markree grand gate and kept on up high in the sky until it was about Lisconey bridge and then it lighted there and it did not rise again until I went home to my house. All the people that saw it say that it is the fairies moving from one fort to the other.
