  1. Long ago there was a lot of old faries around here. East in Derry lough there was a fairy there. There was a baby east in Derry lough by John Harrington. One evening some of the people saw a woman going west the road and a son and little boy by her, and he was saying, I wont go. She used beat him and tell him that he would have to go, and the next day he was found dead.
