- This story is about Mad Butler. He always kept a big tank full of water on the top of his castle in Tinnehinch. One fair day Mad Butler invited people from Graig-na-Managh. He stuffed all the windows and doors. When they were at the feast, Mad Butler went to the top of the castle and let down the water. After about half an hour he came down in to the room where the feast was going on. All the people were lying around the room dead, and every fair day after that was always raining at Graig-na-Managh.
