  1. Some years ago a man in the townland where I live was looking after a sick cow about two o'clock in the morning when he heard the bagpipes playing beautifully in Mr Lang's fort.
    A few nights after a man going home was surrounded by a black thing which seemed like a big cloud. When it reached a field it burst into flame and disappeared.
