- One night a few lads was coming from a dance at the hour of one o'clock when just at a corner of a crossroads they heard buzzing like bees. The boy's were not afraid and they looked inside the wall and they saw a form like a fairy man. When they looked in over the wall he suddenly disappeared. They got a start when they saw how quick he went away. People often heard noise at that place.
