   Above in Girrock which is about three miles on the West side of Ballivor on the left -hand side of the road there is a lonely bush. Anybody who tried to cut down the bush died that night. Every night at twelve O'Clock a big turkey would come, followed by a clutch of young turkeys. They would walk round the bush three times, while from the bush the sound of ringing bells could be heard. then at the last stroke of twelve the turkey and the clutch of young would disappear into the bush. Told by James Hiney aged 42 years. Native of Parish
