- There was a fairy man seen often at the quarry road in Lanmore. One night at about twelve o' clock a few lads were passing that place and they saw that man but they were not afraid. The man began talking to them but they never spoke. Lights were seen often there dancing inside the field and then running out on the road. People are afraid passing that place at night. Lately a fairy man was seen there and he was dressed in white.
