- There was a man living in Latnamard who called himself Colonel O'Neill. One night he was coming home from a wake when he suddenly saw fairies all around him.
Another time he was in Raffoney & he saw gold built up in heaps, but he would not touch what belonged to the good people. It is said that the fairies respected him by going to his wake when he died.
