- There was a man coming by Rafinny Lough one time and he saw a crowd of fairies making shoes. He ran for an hour and when he looked he was only across one field.
- The people in Tattenclave saw a wee man and a wee woman in a bush at the back of John Moyna's house. the man was a cobbler and he used to fix shoes. All the people would bring their shoes to get them fixed and they would leave them in under the bush. When they would go back they would be mended. Some of the Tattenclave people found some clay pipes not long ago in under the same bush.
