- There is an old Lios in Ballinacille near Glenbeigh, there is a big hole running under the ground like a tunnel. Singing is heard there at night and the fairies are supposed to be seen there at present.There is a story told by the old people how one night a young boy was walking along the road whistling and singing. He saw a sod of turf on the road; he hit it with a kick and put it in over the ditch and it landed at the mouth of the Lios; the following day his leg swelled up and kept at him all the time for about a month. After he died the people said that it was a fairy stroke he got.
