  1. There was a hedge school below in Carthy's field, it is called "Croch". The school master lived in a house near the Brown Bridge.
    One night about twelve o' clock he heard a loud knock at the door. He got up and went out to see who was there. But when he went to the door there was no one there. He went out and looked all round the house but he saw on one. It happened three nights in succession.
    He went and told the priest what had happened. The priest told him to go and live in the "Plain of the Flowers."
