- I heard this story from Mr Murphy of Dysart. a man lived in Mushen mountain.
He has sheep grasing on the summit of the mountain. He went to see the sheep and he did not return for a fortnight.
The guards went looking for him and they got a dead body fallen in over the edge of a cliff.
They buried the body and the wife married again. They thought it was the body of the missing man.
The night husband returned home one night and it was so late that he did not go in until morning.
He went in the morning and he found his wife had married.
