  1. There is a fort in Deracorn and many strange things were seen around it.One night about dusk Patsy Keane and another man was passing it .They heard a crowd laughing and having great fun ,and in the end one of them let a roar as if he was stuck.
    He was coming another night and he heard great music and dancing .When he was coming home a step followed him as far as his own door.
