A Story (continued)
“Once upon a time there was a woman who had a son who was twelve years of age and he could not walk or talk.”
(continued from previous page)"There you go in the name of God."
The woman returned home and did what the Priest had told her. The minute the boy touched the stream he started to play the bagpipes again and disappeared down the river.
This was the last was seen of the fairy boy.
- There is a gap in our field called McCullock's gap. It is said that there was a man killed there some time ago and they threw him in a river close by and there was a man hung wrongfully. People say that if you go out at night, you will see a light at the gap.
