It's possible:
* The story is fictional or from an unpublished source. It might be a personal story or an idea not yet written down.
* There might be a slight misremembering of details. The name "Noss," the number "1159," or other specifics could be slightly off, making it harder to find.
* The story is part of folklore passed down orally. It could be a local legend not yet documented in a book.
If you remember any other details about the story, such as the setting, author, or even a sentence from the story, it could be helpful in tracking it down.
