- The old people have many stories. Some stories about the fairies, while others are not, but the most of them are about the fairies. I heard an old person telling one about the fairies. He said that Máire ní Murcada had some magic knowledge or power, and she used bring back people out of the fairies.
There once lived a man in Pullen whose wife died. There was a young child in the house, and every night the child used be changed from its proper place.
