  1. Long ago there was a man living in a house in Termonfeckin and he stole the priests Mass book. After an hour or so the priest came for the book. He was on a horse. He said if the man did not give it up he would go around the whole house on the horse.
    So the man gave it to him. When the priest left the man saw the marks of the horses feet in the hall and on the steps outside. And from that day to his the horses marks are still there.
