- About a hundred years ago, a man went on his ceilidhe to his sister's house. This man had to pass old wall-stales.
On his way pass them, he thought he saw something. At that moment all the wall-stales fell to the ground.
When he reached his sisters house, he told of the sad happening. His sister told him that a person convenient to them was about to die.
Next night the man went to the old stales to see if he would see anything. But, to his utter amazement the house had been as big as ever it was.
