- One night a man by the name of Johnny Sexton was returning from a fair in Castleisland. The night was very dark and as he had a few pints in, he decided to stop at the first house he came to. At last he came to a house which was very small, he knocked at the door and an old man with a grey beard answered his knock. He asked the old man to leave him sleep in the chair until morning. The old man told him to come in and drink a cup of tea. Johnny drank the tea and then sat down on the chair and closed his eyes. After a bit he stirred and the chair seemed to burst and he fell. He found that he was getting wet and he woke. He found that he was lying in a dike with no sign of the house.
