Ghosts
A man who lived near Tallow Hill went to a wake. On his return it was midnight. It happened that he had to pass a fort on the way.
When approaching it, he saw a great big mansion of a house where a large crowd of people stood. They invited the man in.
When going in he was warned by one of the men not to eat anything which would be given to him.
When he entered the hall a voice welcomed him saying 'Cérd míle fáilte romhat'.
Very tempting food was placed before him, and forgetting the advice given him, he ate all he could.
When the sun rose, he found himself on the edge of the fort with a sod of turf in his arms, and it was decorated with goose quills. It was a warning to him from that on, never again to remain out late at night.
