“Not very far from home is a lios. In the olden times it was said that it was haunted.”
Not very far from home is a lios. In the olden times it was said that it was haunted and on that account people did not like passing it in the night. One night a man was returning home and he had to go through the lios.
He went on alright for a while but suddenly he heard music and singing and dancing. He fell to the ground.
When he recovered he saw a number of small little men dancing around him. He was very frightened but after a time they vanished. He ran the rest of the way home. So after that very few people went through the lios.
