    It was supposed that an imaginary castle was in Curtin's mountain where all the dead people around the district were inside. They could not be released until some living person opened the door. There did a person open the door for them and he showed her his hands which were all lumps.

    This story was told to me by Mrs John Murphy aged 80 years. Mrs Murphy told me that the person who opened the door spoke to her and showed her his hands.
