  1. Long ago fairies were seen very often. There were places where you would see fairies after midnight. Such as the Grave yard the Church gate and at Crois na mbunoc the cross near Denis O Brian's house. At the grave yard people dressed in white would be seen walking up and down the road. At the Protestant Church gate, a woman would be seen standing near the gate she often haunted people. At Crois na mbunoc lights used be seen. people say they were people buried there.
    Lights are supposed to be holy seen in a place.
