    There was a man living one time on the pass between two forts.

    There was a man living one time on the pass between two forts. Every child his wife had was dumb.This time she was going to have a child, and the man built a new room over from the path (pass), and when the child, which was born there grew up, it was able to speak. (Seorsin O'Tuathail)

    There is a place in Kerry called Causeway and it is full of ghost stories and folklore.

    From Sean O'Gugain. Dalta Scoile,
    12 1/2 bl. Cromadh.
    There is a place in Kerry called Causeway and it is full of ghost stories and folklore. My father was born there. Some years ago there was a man living there with his wife and children. He owned a farm which was some distance from his house and one day he went to draw a load of hay from it. He was coming home, sitting on the hay, when all of a sudden a gust of wind blew the cap off his head. He got home safely and told what had happened. He fell sick the next day and died shortly afterwards, and the people said the fairy wind must have been the cause of his death. His cap was never found. The fairy wind is the Ceo gaoithe.
