“There is a wood near my house and it is called Derrymore Wood”
There is a wood near my house and it is called Derrymore Wood. There was a man coming home from his cuairt one night and he had to pass the wood where he heard singing and dancing so he was greatly afraid. After awhile there did a white man come out of the wood and he asked him where he was going. He told him that he was going home but the white man brought him into the wood and made him dance. After a good while he let him off and he was found dead in the morning.
