  1. One night long ago there was a crowd of people going to a dance. On their way to the dance they had to pass a very lonesome place where fairies used to be seen. When they were coming home it was about one o'clock and when they were passing the lonesome place the fairies were out. The people were very much afraid. They spoke to the fairies but the fairies did not answer. The name of the place where the fairies were seen is Ballintrim. Everybody used to be afraid passing that place after that.
