- There was a man named Paddy Joe Kelly living in Faghy. He was coming home from his neighbours house one night when all the walls started to fall. He thought it might be sheep crossing the walls inside in the field that were causing the noise. He then stood for a few moments and when he stood the walls stopped falling. When he started to do again the walls started to fall. He then ran home and told the whole story to his family and he told his wife that he would be up early to see if the walls would the be built and when he went out at day break the were just the same as ever. He never went out visiting after that with out some one in his own house with him.
