  1. One time a man was going home from his ceílidh. It would be between 11 and 12 o clock in the night. He was going by a fort and he suddenly heard lovely music, it was the music of a fiddle. He stopped and immediately the music stopped. He moved on and the music started again. Then he heard the fairies laughing.
